Dress In Progress: The Muslin
Ok so, What is a muslin? When one is building a pattern, in this case i'm fabric draping rather than patternmaking, you create a mock-up. This is called "a muslin" after the cheap cotton cloth it is commonly made from. This is where you work out details of shape, construction and fit. This first muslin of mine is held together by pins. once I work out the how I want to dress to be I will stitch it all together, planning out how it will eventually be constructed.

That's Right. I'm Sewing My Own Dress
Here are the drawing ideas for the gown. Originally i was going to do 3 pieces, underdress or skirt, corset, and outer gown. You can see that in the first two groups of drawings. After trying on the dresses at Pronovias, I decided doing something cool, with drape, and slim fitted for the underdress and nixed the corset.

Fabric Shopping
After seeing that Reem Acra dress I started thinking about making my own lace for trim. So I went browsing. Lots of stuff in white. Not much silver or red though.
