Draping/Drafting Process
Construction Process
Princess Dragomiroff digital rendering done by Erin Magner on her Ipad. This gown is a 1920s Paul Poirot inspired regal gown. There is an under slip-layer connected to a 4-gore asymmetrical trumpet skirt. The under-layer is connected to the overlayer at the neckline and armscye. The overlayer is a long line dolman/bat-sleeve gown.
So, when patterning all this out. I had to start from square one which meant drafting basic bodice slopers using the actresses measurements. These slopers will allow for me to draft the underlayer and over layer bodice pieces.
