Love it! Do you have more of a step by step tutorial for how you made that pattern and cut the pieces and how the four pieces fit together to make the dress? I’ve sewed quite a few costumes, but my brain doesn’t always make the most quick sense when it comes to patterns. I usually find that sewing from tutorials is easier than from a pattern I can buy. And I love the concept of how this will be a better fit than something off the shelf. Thanks!!

I don't have more of a step by step. When school is less busy I will see if I can make a basic pattern drawing, transfering to fabric and fitting it back together tutorial

So pretty!!!

You can get medical shears that have a guard on one side that make it much easier to cut through the tape bodyform without worrying about cutting anything (like yourself). Usually used to cut off clothing from people during emergencies. Search 'medical shears ' on Amazon or something.

Hahaha, good practice! My kneecaps used to dislocate but not pop back. They had to cut off my jeans about once a year. Part of the reason I learnd to sew ;)

How did you attach the dress to the corset? Or prevent the dress from moving with the corset on?

nope I did not attach it. For my contest I put in some safe pins just incase. But it stays on fine. I can hardly move in the corset anyway xp

Did you add a seam allowance when you cut it out?

How’d you do the slit?

@CreativeChaosCostumes

Dont sew the seam with the slit closed any further than you want your slit. If you put the dress and the lining right sides together and sew them to each other, leave only the bottom open. Turn it right side out and close the bottem seam (top stitch or handsew). Than the split will be done :)

How long did it take you to make this dress?
