After finishing the first one to realise I had drawn my pattern wrong I decided to work out on my toile where I had gone wrong and how much extra fabric there was left over. I found doing this really helped me realise that I had left darts in where they needed to be taken out.
Here are the steps I took to fix my error:
 |
| Pinning my original toile so I can see it fitted and how much fabric is left over. |
 |
| The extra fabric was sitting where my channel seams were, this is how I new where I had gone wrong. |
 |
| Putting more room around the hips. |
 |
| The shoulders on the original block are quite bulky and I hadn't thought to change this on my orginal pattern, so I went back to do so. |
 |
| As you can see, when I began to make up my toile, there was a big difference to my previous attempt. |
 |
| The dress was now more fitted and looking more like the design. |
 |
| I then began to work on the back panel taking the darts out this time., rather than including them. |
 |
| As you can see from this half of the back panel, I had worked out the pattern correctly on my second attempt. |
I am really happy I was able to work out my pattern on my own, it meant I learnt more as I was going a long which is what I had hoped for being a novice at pattern cutting.
The reason the front of the garment is left open, is because on the final their will be a zip fitted to the full length of the front.
