After I had finished the skirt I went back to the sleeve and cut a shape that was correct. I tried to mimic the scalloped edge of the top skirt in the sleeve. I am pleased with the overall look of the sleeve even if it is not technically correct. I think in future I would like to go back and create a sleeve that is correct for this dress.
I am extremely happy with the overall look of this dress and I think it is just like the picture I was following. I am most pleased with the bodice and how the panneling has worked out. In the images I was following it mentioned that the bodice would be boned. I did not see the need to put boning down the front of the bodice as this is only a toille. If i was fitting this to an actualy body it would be different as it would need the structure.
I have not traced these pieces onto pattern paper as I feel the pieces in calico are more valuable than if they were on paper. I feel that the calico pieces really show where the seams would be and also show the shape better. I feel that the skirt would not need a pattern as such anyway as it seems to be very simplistic and it is easier to cut on the stand when constructing something like this.
Overall I feel I have achieved a lot in this piece. I feel that I have done well to overcome the minor problems I have come accross in this project. I still feel however that motivation is one of my weaker points. I feel that it is becoming increasingly important to keep track of the time period so that I can produce pieces that are benficial to my future work. I have also realised that if a time plan is not kept too it has a knock on effect to other work and comitments. I now feel increasing pressure to complete my next two pieces and other units within the time allocated as at this point I should be constructing my last toille :S.
