Anyway, I decided that as a novice taking on a simple yet pretty evening gown shouldn't be too hard.... I needed to make four of these evening gowns, to fit four different sized figures and in two different colours. I was very impressed to find some reasonably priced satin and appropriately coloured lining and set to work.
I was given the great idea of folding the material in half and making two at once, not realising this would cause complications, I set about cutting out. Mum was eager to help me with this project as she soon realised I'd bitten off a little more than I could chew! Unfortunately, in cutting them out back to back I'd made some of the patterns the wrong way around, rookie mistake no.1! Mum not realising this had happily sewed them together, only to have to unpick them and sew all over again.
After much unpicking, realigning for larger hips and smaller waists these are the finished results. (courtesy of lmx-creative.co.uk)
This one above is me!
