drape drape trial!

drape drape - difficult?

I have bought drape drape book from 1 to 3 as these books are soon beautiful.

I have been looking at these books and wanted to try one of them - easiest one.

So I pick up from dress no.3 from 'drape drape'.

However the skirt of this dress is a little short for me.
So after trading, I modified pattern to make longer length.
 And I used the 'non' jersey fabric for trial... how challenger am I.

Of course, my trial was failed as I didn't use jersey type fabric. Never mind.
After this failure, I changed the plan to this failure dress to modify my traded pattern.

You can see it looks ok from front but if you look from side, ah... looks fat...

So! I add more gather parts.

Now I can compare from before and now.

// BEFORE vs AFTER //

Now I will add this modification to my traced patter.

I actually found this pattern is very simple. You can just carefully trace the pattern as there are a lots of pattern in the once page!
Sewing is not complicated if you have done some dressmaking before, you will find easy.
If you have never done dressmaking before, maybe you have to make some dress before try this book. I.m not advanced level, but I did it. I am between beginner and intermediate level?  :D

Have a nice weekend, Yasuko
