The Josephine Dress: Part 2. Let the construction begin!
✂🪡👗
The draping, design and fitting process is one of my favorite stages of any of the project that I do. There is usually quite a bit of back and forth between the dress form and the drafting table, and while it can occasionally feel tedious, it is always a rewarding and exciting experience.
I try to work directly from my sketch on projects like this, but occasionally the fabric will speak to me and I’ll make small design changes on the form.
With the bodice cut out of the fashion fabric and the flat lining basted on, the next step is to sew it together and drape the skirt!
