Here is a shot of the underlay knit lining.
I am concerned now about the weight of that piece. When cooler weather hits, I may have wanted a heavier bottom knit. It is true that the tier pieces do add weight to the garment. We will see.
Next steps are to baste the side sides together to make sure tiers line up and to check the fit. Once fitting adjustments, if any, need to be made then the instructions call for attaching the neckband by not stitching one shoulder edge, basically apply neckband flat. I normally attach knit neckbands differently and may decide to use my TNT method.

I love, love, love your fabric choice. It's so vibrant and fun. Look forward to seeing the end results.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My camera does not do this fabric justice, it looks even better in "real" life.
DeleteThe fabrics you have chosen are gorgeous colours, so I hope this dress turns out well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, so far so good.
DeleteI never imagined the dress in something other than stripped or solid fabrics. I think it's awfully creative of you to come up with the solid/print mix. Waiting patiently to see the finished product.
