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.
