I FINALLY finished the tunic and fairly pleased with how it turned out! It's such a simple look that it's hard to imagine it took me so long to complete it. I'll post a picture of myself wearing it later today. The excitement of finishing it made me want to get things started on the tiered maxi project. I'm very clueless on where to start aside from the sketchy guide sheet I jotted down (shown in my 3rd blog post). So, I found some muslin and attempted to drape the dressform based on the my sketch. Hmmmm.....it didn't turn out so great, but I had an interesting time attempting it. I used to play around with draping on miniture mannequins YEARS ago and remembered how much I enjoyed doing so. Doing it again brought back memories. The actual fabric that will be used is shown here below:
It's a rich crimson color of some sort of cotton/poly blend with a crinkly texture. Looking at my sketch, I'm already thinking of some variations to make of this design! Loving this creative energy. Taking things one day at a time.
