You’re welcome,
We had done the dress coat or bib which is composed of a skirt and a coat. It was put over the skirt and the corset.
To start it we took the dark green patterned fabric to make the skirt of the jacket. First of all, we fold the fabric in two pieces and put the pattern on it. Then the two equal pieces will came out.
We took it with needles and we make the fabric following the pattern with chalk. Then we cut it leaving a few inches to sew. Once we cut out two fabric pieces and sew where we had previously marked with tailor basting.
Then we sew the middle part with the machine to work with only one piece. We put in the mannequin to know where to put the fabric folds. Then we sew the middle part with the machine to work with only one piece. We put in the mannequin had to know where to put the fabric folds as we had. Once we prepared with needles, we measured that all were equal and sew up with the machine, trying to take it all the folds to work better with the rest of the dress.
To make the top of the jacket, we did it in two parts: the back that only one piece, and the front are two pieces, one for each side.
For starters, we put all the patterns of the back part of the dress on the fabric and we followed the above procedure.
Next, we fold the fabric and got the lateral part of the pattern. We marked leaving a space for the brand and we sew with the tailor basting following the mark, as explained above.
When we had all the pieces cut, we joined a provisional weave before sewing it with the machine and we put it on the mannequin to see if we needed to change something like the waist piece to fit by two grippers on the behind part and front part. First we mark them with needles and when we remove it from the mannequin we prepared the weaves to know where we will sew up.
Once we had everything ready and we are secure, we started sewing with machine following the thread. Once we had it all in one piece and also the pleats sewn, we went back to put it in mannequin, always check that everything was as we wanted.
In the next post, you could see how we will made the sleeves. Here you can see another piece of our dress.
See you!
