Re: Ballroom dance dress moral support thread
very cool! We have a Civil war Ball in May that I was going to make a dress for. Haven't even gotten started. My mom helped my cousin make one last week.
your form by the way is awesome!!! |

Re: Ballroom dance dress moral support thread
Well, it's going pretty slowly. I found out my body is a bit asymmetrical (one side of me curves significantly less than the other side ) so that makes my pattern a little harder, since I can't just flip it over.
I cut a sample pattern out of an old bedsheet...and I think I've got it how I want it. I'm going to get the courage to cut into the good cloth on Monday and hopefully post pictures of a finished torso part. That's the goal anyway. Thanks for asking

Re: Ballroom dance dress moral support thread
Aren't you glad that ballroom styles are much better now than 10 years ago? You could be having to make a huge, feathery scary thing.
I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Re: Ballroom dance dress moral support thread
Ok, here's my leotard lining layer. I can't take a good picture of it, because it no longer fits on my dressform (I can twist my shoulders around and wiggle into it myself, but I can't get in on the form )
It's taken me all day...and for a while there, I was going to start over. Now that I have the elastic in the bottom seams, it holds the rest of it tight against me, and it doesn't wrinkle as much. Next step, make a top layer the same way (without the leotard bottom) and sew them together along the neckline.
