Hi everyone!
This is what turned out when I was experimenting with draping the chiffon. A little bit of Grecian feel because of the draping and played around with the translucence of the sleeves.
Technique wise, it's very different from how I worked on other dresses. Just tried to drape a flow around the mannequin itself rather than drafting a paper pattern first because it just turns out so differently in this case.
I love how the satin fabric falls nicely so I kept the skirt simple and flared and it just cascades naturally.
To be honest, it was really hard to work on something which I don't know how it will turn out in the end because it's unlike anything out there and in the process there were lots of times I doubted myself and considered starting over with a safer design because I have no idea if it was going to work out or not. But thankfully, I just told myself to at least finish it so to the point where it can be worn for a formal event. It took longer than expected but I think it does work in the end! So persevering through the challenges paid off eventually.
Below are some of the shots.
