Reflection so far on second piece.

So far so good. I have found this piece intreaguing yet frustrating at the same time. I really love the shape that is created by the skirts full ness and this contrasted against the deep point at the front.

I have found that because the dress is off the shoulder I have found it incredibly hard to construct this properly so I have had to make an educated guess as to where to put the strap and also where it should fall. If I was to ever make this type of garment I would have to have regular fittings with my model so that the strap would be in the right place.

I have also found it difficult only having the one picture of the dress. The last piece had many references to it, however I have found the drawings in the 'Costume in Detail' book incredibly helpful and I will definately be using this book again!
