Thanks guys! I appreciate all of your support! I felt kinda silly posting those pix, but now I know I'll be more appreciative if the next go round is better.  |
Find a dress you have that fits KS the way you like and study it. Use it to draw out a pattern of the pieces you'll need, adding an inch for seams. Look at the different pieces of it and take it apart in your mind. I fold the bodice in half and trace each piece and then label it. On skirts, I double whatever is there (on the dress i use as a pattern) to allow for ruffling (I always use the double fabric, turn it inside out because I hate hems trick)
This is how I sew. Pillows, dresses, beds, curtains, etc. I can't follow a paper pattern. I just can't.
I made allies valentines dress off of another dress I found a picture of on the internet. I studied other people's clothing from other websites and adapted the pieces I would need.
