Goth Gardener's entry 2
Pattern; self-drafted. Top taken from a TnT pattern, but changed to dropped shoulders, neckline lowered and made a bit bigger (as previous entry was a bit tight). Skirt was a self-drafted handkerchief skirt.
Fabric, another one from funki fabrics.
As I had 1.25m of this for some reason I decided to make a dress, as most of my dresses are a bit work-formal, and I want some more casual ones.
This needed a lot of amendments. I made the top too big - hence the pleats at the waist. I decided that I didn't need to pattern match as so many rtw dresses don't - and I'm not happy about the lack of matching. I'd forgotten that handkerchief skirts show the wrong side of the fabric; so I did a deep hem. It was too short, so I added another "handkerchief" of a thick black mesh - this is the "shadow" you can see on the right-hand side and at the front.
I'm not unhappy with it when compared to a rtw frock in the kind of shop that would sell such a style, but it's really not up to my usual standard.
