It was nice to relax with my family over Easter but I also got some work done.
I continued with the dress by connecting the arms, refining the bust and then adding the transparent detailing on the chest. However I felt myself slowing down and wasn't quite sure how I was going to create the skirts so I decided that it would be best to move onto Vivienne's dress and come back to this later.
I started with again adding a skirt base in 3dsMax and then made the circle skirt and blouse. I tried a new method of making the top skirt by using curved rectangles attached to the waist belt and this was really successful in giving me the folds and horizontal creasing.
This dress has a later Victorian/early Edwardian feel to it because it accentuates an hour glass figure. The ruffled layer skirts were tedious to stitch together but it looks really good.
These were hard to make on my laptop because it lagged a lot but I'm glad I got some work done over Easter as it means I can keep on my schedule.
