I'm back! Sorry for the long delay; I was busy with some other stuff =D.

Here's an initial 1/6 scale version of the dress design. I haven't setup the machine yet, since I thought for this one the fabric pieces might be too small for the machine and decided to hand sew it.

My findings and notes:

-I'm not sure what's going on with the sleeves. Near where they join to the torso, some bunching of the fabric occurs. Could be because of the angle? The sleeves meet the torso at 90 degrees, like a capital T.
-The central lace section seems to be good. The piece of fabric in the front needs to be longer than the one making up the back.
-Tried to design it in such a way where no stitches are visible externally. Made a special folded seam that encloses the raw edges of sleeves.
-Need to rework finishing raw edges of neckline and waistline. Special seam used in sleeves do not appear to work in these areas (tends to fold outward).
-Lower skirt has similar problem. Other than edge, seems functional. Fabric piece consists of semicircles, but actual sewing points form a 135 degree arc (creating 3/4 circle skirt instead of a full circle)
-Fabric drape lower than expected
-Need to line inside with softer fabric
-Unsure of whether to combine the two parts into a single dress, or leave as blouse+skirt combination.
-I have no idea how a sleeveless top stays up without elastics.


I'll probably do an updated design to fix these. Will try to set up the machine and see how it performs.

Any ideas on how to fix the problems listed in the notes /j/ =3?
