Today was real fabric cutting day! Had to do some freestyle Tetris, because the layouts in the pattern booklet were all for fabrics either way narrower or just a bit wider.

I lied! I did have time to set the sleeves in!

Now just to get a straight hem… (the back is already pinned up a finger length to match the front panel)
Might check if the parents are home/up for a visit this weekend to get a pair of pinning hands called “mum”
No I don’t have a mannequin 😅

Putting in de sleeves did solve the issue of the darts looking a bit too low, but I think I’ll make them 1 cm longer in the real dress. They should be a bit more towards the center I think.
The cinching (not in pattern) that I added on both sides also works well, so that’s a keeper.
Now I’ll have to wait for more dress work until tomorrow, because I only realised I still needed to wash the black

This might be jinxing it, but dare I say I found the french seam less effort than zigzag-finishing the seams? (which is what I did on the first dress, and that one’s still a fraying mess inside)

Managed to insert the side loops in french seams right in the first improvised attempt (well, can you spot the little mistake that I decided not to fix in the picture with the loops? 😅).
Proved to myself once again that sewing/clothes con…
Godets sewn into the back and front panel.
Past me had the bright idea to hide the fraying edges into the seams, and I will be french seaming most of it, but not the lapped seams on the godet.
Also, the seam allowance on these seams was …
