Early 1970 Vintage dress trial start!

I have came back from holiday last night and today is my free day.

Of course I'm front of my sewing machine..

What will I do? I realised to make a party dress is a little too early and I just saw copied patterns on my desk which is still in the middle of tracing.

This is a 1970 vintage pattern which I mentioned this article.

And I really want to try this one.

The original size is 14 and while I was tracing the pattern, I have adjusted size to between 8 and 10.

This trial is using cheap fabric by my favourite indian shop and my aim is to adjust pattern to fit my size perfectly. I usually make a note to pattern how much adjust the particular parts but I have never done reduce the pattern size.
That's why I'm using cheap fabric to less damage of my wallet. ;-)

Just done front and back part. Let's see..

This is the front - darts is done quite nicely.

From side. Looks fit my size. Good progress...

Back. Looks OK.

Wait a minutes... Not OK at all!!!!!!

I just realised this back... I had to cut in the middle. I need to check the cutting plan..

Shock... I thought the fabric used as fold.. it was not fold.. I NEEDED TO CUT 2 PIECES.

See? that's why I shouldn't use expensive fabric at moment. Proof my points! Garrrrrr..

Oh well, finish today.

Sayonara!
