Toile attempt for the final dress

I have decided to be more creative with the design, so i have gone back and re designed the patterns. the patterns are similar to the original designs, however it is now split into the bodice and the skirt, which means it is easier to adapt and change the shape of the skirt while not adapting the bodice. i have also added 10cm on each side of the skirt panel, which will hopefully be enough flare however i may add more flare if it is not enough.

After i created the bodice i found that it was too small on the bust area. i think this is because i must have gone wrong when reducing the ease, as the solution to this problem was to insert a dart like shape along the seam. now i have improved the bodice i will take it in at the centre front seam, then i will construct the toil of the skirt then attach it to the bodice at the waist.

on the final dress the bodice will be 2 layers and the skirt will be 3, this is to add extra volume to the skirt to give it the overly flared effect. i will also use beads to add detail onto the top layer.
