Pastille dress, muslin no.2.

So taking into consideration what everyone had to say about my first Pastille muslin, I have made a few changes. The first is the length, in fact the whole of the skirt came down a size, and I shaved a little off the bodice.


Firstly the positives, it really does fit better.


A little to much fabric at the top of the bodice I think.


I have really struggled with lining up the darts. I think I have fiddles around so much I don't know if I'm coming or going.


Finally I I think I would benefit from starting from the the very beginning, keeping in mind all that I have learnt. To be honest I don't know that I will. The biggest problem with this dress for me is that between the darts is my pot belly and I feel really exposed, so I'm not sure that I like it. If the waistband moved to be a empire line maybe I would like it more. But for now I have learnt plenty, like go on a diet!!


And yes I did take the Colette book to the hairdressers with me!!
