Step 1 after sketching is always re-arranging my pattern so that it works for the new designs. I want some of the fall dresses I have planned to have a princess seams in front, as opposed to darts. This, luckily, is a pretty easy pattern modification. I also added a half inch to the bodice center front as I felt it was always a bit short on my summer dresses. I also drafted a sleeve pattern for the under-sleeves of the more italienne inspired gowns. The neckline will be lower on most of my fall/winter dresses too as I'm aiming for them too look more Tudor inspired than 1950's. Hopefully they will turn out a nice mash up of the two!

| These are the fabrics for my first sorta-test dress of this little "collection" I am putting together. The sheer stuff will be the under-sleeves that will puff out Borgia style. I found said sheer fabric on sale at Denver fabrics and it is actually real metallic silk! Swoon! |
