First Fitting for Couture Evening Gown

I had my first fitting with my lovely model Sammie last week. I fitted her into the bodice for the underwear of the evening gown which turned out to be pretty successful!


The bodice fitted perfectly except for a slight alteration on the bust and lowering the chest line to make sure the underwear will not sit higher than the top dress.


Unfortunately I didn't have time to photograph Sammie in the net petticoat as well as it is proving massively time consuming to finish! Gathering is NOT my friend. I didn't realise quite how long and challenging it would be to gather 27 widths of nets to fit on 9 widths!


But in general it was a good fitting and its just time to get a move on now!
