To cut out my dress I first needed to make another neck facing since I changed the neckline of my pattern. It's pretty simple to do this. I got some tissue paper and traced my new neckline and the shoulder and center front edge.
Next, I measured 2 inches in from the neckline and connect the curved line.
Now cut out your shape and mark it. It is now your new neckline facing.
I then cut out all of my fabric and my lining. I decided to line my entire dress and also have a neck facing so this is what I cut out:
main fabric
- 1 bodice front on fold
- 2 bodice backs
- 1 front neck facing on fold (newly drafted)
- 2 back neck facings
- 1 skirt front on fold
- 2 skirt backs
- 2 sleeves on fold
lining fabric
- 1 bodice front on fold
- 2 bodice backs
- 1 skirt front on fold
-2 skirt backs
- 2 sleeves on fold
Looking lovely! Kelli, I've added another post about the challenge, "It's all over 'cept the hemming." Thanks for MadMen challenge! I'm wearing mine to hubby's company party next week. - K.
