Using measurements, a pattern is developed....
The pattern is tested on scrap fabrics...
"Tweaked" when needed...
And then "The Real McCoy" is cut and sewn!
So, in the past week, I have completed piecing the bodice, and now have good sleeve patterns. Before I am able to cut the little windows of the puffed portion, I still have some test runs to do. All in all, I feel good about the progress. I'm in the throws of the most time-consuming portion, and almost done with that! YEA!!

Oh MY WORD....don't know how you have the patience to do all that....wow!!!!!!!!!! I'm so impressed!!
Guess I don't have to ask what you're doing to keep you busy! LOL! Beautiful!
It really is a lot of prep work, but it's a major project to design it yourself, and without the test, it might turn out awful -- and all that expensive fabric! It's cool to see the scraps in action. I've read about this type of design, using muslin or something to test the design, and I always think I would not have the patience. But when you have an event like this to display the result, it's well worth it.
Man alive, Mrs. M. That is really an undertaking. Thanks for showing us the step-by-step! It's gonna be gorgeous!
