Pictures of the try-on

[mala_14]

As promised, a couple of quick bathroom pics of the dress-in-progress from my fitting. You can see that there's some wrinkling at the back under the arm and at the waist, but I'm thinking that the waist wrinkling should go away once a skirt is attached and if I have my petticoats and rump a bit higher up.


Left to do: sew tops of sleeves and shoulder straps, hem sleeves, pleat and attach skirt, hem skirt, finish bodice at waist.

While you do see lots of wrinkles at the back of the arm on the sleeve in portraits and with extant dresses on mannequins, I think that they can be taken out of the bodice. I think my white striped chemise-type gown is like that.

Thank you! :) I really love yellow.

They're not usually big wrinkles, but for me they usually go away as soon as I lift my arms just enough to put my hands on my hips so I've always assumed they need to be there for range of motion.

Looking back at my bodices, I seem to have the same wrinkles. Maybe they are necessary. Interesting!
