The finished dress should look like this.

Fashion › Re: My African Evening/occasion Gowns, Fashion Training by larosa(op): 8:40am On Jan 16, 2015

Your skirt part should look like this.:

It is advisable you leave it to hang for about 24 hours so that the hem can stabilize.

4. Next , cut the lining the same way attach and join to the upper part of the dress.

5. I used a metal like mesh for my own dress to cover the waist joint you may use a belt or some other trimming if you so desire.

6. Attach your zip and close up the lower back.

7. For hemming this kind of soft fabric, i prefer to use an industrial weaving machine for serging. I avoid the stress of trying to fold very soft fabric.

8. The dress is sleeveless. I ran bias tape on the armhole folded it in and hand stitched because i dont want the stitches to show in front.

9. wear and enjoy!

Cut out your skirt

Fashion › Re: My African Evening/occasion Gowns, Fashion Training by larosa(op): 8:30am On Jan 16, 2015

3. You can draw on paper first or directly on your fabric.

4. Fold your fabric in four. At the apex ( the pointy part where the four folds start from.) measure both ways . Ensure your fabric is longer than the desired length of the skirt. This would give some room to manipulate especially with soft fabrics.

Your fabric or paper should look like this:

Full circular skit:

1. Waist measurement deduct 1 inch multiply result by 1/6. For example a waist of 31" minus 1" = 30 x 1/6 = 5.

However to ensure we have seam allowance i usually add 1/2" to the final result. So in this case add 1/2" to 5 to get 5 1/2".

2. Determine how long you want the skirt. i used 24" for mine. Add 1 " for hemming and 1/2" to allow us join the waist area to the upper part of the dress. We now have 24 + 1 1/2 = 25 1/2".

@ goforwadagu , hello dear abeg don't vex for my long overdue update it was December rush oh and i promise to post some lovely pix of what i have been up to.

So, in conclusion of our dress....

We want to work on the lower part of the dress now. Its called a circular skirt, very straight forward and easy to draft. There are about 4 ways of cutting this depending on how full you want it but mine is a full circle. The same technique applies to peplum attachments .

We need just 2 measurements , waist and length.

goforwardagu:
hmmmmmmm@Larosa very nice picture explanation and very easy to understand too.

would get back to u on it.

please come back oh,waiting for the completion of the gown.

Thanks dear..

Ok , so attach your lining (if you are using lining) sewing along the neckline for the front and back pieces. There are so many ways to attach lining but i would be teaching what i use.
At the back, after sewing the neck lining and fabric toghether, sew lining and fabric down the zip area. Notch your fabric and flip over to the right side. Iron carefully ( pls dont iron Lycra oh grin

)

After cutting out the back proceed to cut out the lining if applicable.

For the back just place your already cut out fabric on the lining and cut.

For the Front if you added 1" seam allowance along line A -C, reduce the allowance when cutting the lining to 1/2". This will make the lining to pull in the fabric a bit so it does not show after sewing.

goforwardagu:
yeeeeeeyyyyeeeeee and she is back

gud to av u back.

waiting for the pix 2mrw

You are too funny grin

In response to your question, yes you need to tilt the pattern for any size of cowl you are doing whether low, high or medium, Using my sample you would get a depth of about 5" . For a neckline of 7" line A - C should come lower.

Fashion › Re: My African Evening/occasion Gowns, Fashion Training by larosa(op): 3:35pm On Dec 04, 2014

The back is pretty straight forward. Place the pattern on your fabric and cut after adding your seam allowance AND ZIP allowance ( very important. You don't need to rotate the back pattern since there is no cowl at the back.

3. Determine how wide you want the shoulder of your dress. For this i used 2 and 1/2 inches so measuring from the edge of the shoulder measure 2 1/2 and mark the point "A".

4. Mark the point where the curve of the neckline ends "B". (where the neck touches the folded fabric edge)

4. Mark the point where the waist of your pattern touches the fabric "X".

5. Place one of your fingers on point X and Gradually rotate your pattern away from the folded fabric edge. (Do not let the fabric move along with your pattern ohhh! grin

)

Aim to leave about 4 inches between the neck point "B" and the fabric edge.

6. Draw a line from point A to the fabric edge coming close to point B you can mark where it terminates as point "C". Point C is your new center front neckline and the centre of the cowl.

7. You can cut off the part of the pattern above line A - C if you wish or just fold it in.

8. Pin your pattern to the fabric and cut out. Remember to include your seam allowance all around (between 1" to 1 1/2" wink
