Afghan Dress Post 1

Today I cut out all the pieces. Below are the final selection of batiks. The blue-green on the upper left is the skirt and one sleeve section, the dark with vines is the bodice and cuffs, the beige is linings, one sleeve section and the sash, the green is the waistband and side gussets and the cuff linings. Basically I’m using each fabric in two places where it shows. I haven’t done anything about trims yet, but the batiks are pretty fancy already. I may just put a ribbon on the cuffs to match the neck binding, maybe something on the skirt and stop there. I’ll decide once I have the bodice and sleeves assembled.



I’ll probably look like a blimp, but at least I’ll be a colorful blimp.
