Look 5 Actual

The push point and notch is very important for the skirt. It helps me to fold the design easier. Remember not to press the pleats down.

The opening for the skirt is an invisible zipper at back with a vent so it can allowed the person walk easier.

For the shirt, I have to bead the collar part before stitching down. I’m adding small sequins and crystals to make it more interesting.The collar was sewn by a very small footer due to the beading.

Everything is finished by French seam expect the hem of the sleeve. My original plan is to fold 1cm twice, however it’s on bias and very hard to control so I change the finishing to a French bias tape. For the sleeve folds, I want to use a button to hold it down at first but there are too many layers so it’s hard to make a button hole. What I do is I hand stitch the thing down and add a fake button on top.

I’m very satisfied with the final outcome. The blouse can be style as double collar or v-neck. The fabric works nice, it create a nice volume at the sleeve. I’m also happy with the skirt’s TR cutting details. The fold works very nice because of the fabric.
