I lined the pieces up on my dress form to see how everything looked (with the help of my feline assistant). Then, tried it on to make sure the placement worked on me before getting started.
I ended up fixing the pleats on the back of the skirt since the photo above was taken. They just weren't laying right.
On the picture below, I've got the bodice pinned to the skirt. (remember, for this dress, the shiny side of the fabric is the "wrong side")
Here it is sewn together:
Then, I added an ivory, invisible zipper in the back and pinned the bottom of the dress where I thought the hem should go.
I tried everything on and made some adjustments and was ready to move on to the lace!
If you want to start a boutique with your sewing skills, it will be very advantageous if you take classes. You should learn more about the terminologies used in sewing, equipment to be used, techniques, as well as how the business runs. You don’t want to go to a battlefield unprepared.
