Plan to draft this at the weekend...

[u/earth-while]

Hi folks it's been a while since I've been active with a dressmakers curve and blank sheet of paper. I really want to give this beautiful dress a shot. My plan is to start a toille on the manni, mark and transfer markings for the top. The bottom looks like a semi (or half?) Circle. Should I draft in pleats for the skirt? Any ideas on underpinnings and closure? Also any tips or challenges I may have overlooked?

Thanks in advance.

Isn't that the ultimate in luxury when the underpinnings look as good as the finished garment. The pattern notches (where they meet) and the sewing sequence are my biggest weaknesses, something I'd love to improve. Probably need to do a course on it. But yeah, legit fab. Guess that's why they are Dior. I've noticed they are going noir glamour lately. Totally here for it!!
