jacket toile results

[jennylafleur]

The final sleeve toile #2 fitting and the sleeve toile #3 fitting. There is still a bunchy fullness at the back of the sleeve that is bothering me but I think I can live with it at this point. There is always a certain amount of fullness there, even in period frocks. Besides I’ve had enough messing with it!


The toile as it is tonight. The peplum looks pretty good I think. I need to perfect the shaping (much easier when it’s back to being a flat piece of fabric) and I might lengthen it an inch or so. I need to try it on with a petticoat – it’s hard to determine proportions with pj pants on! I’ll try it on again tomorrow, when I’ll have everything on anyway. :>

I really shouldn’t have stayed up so late finishing the toile, not with Belmont to get ready for in the morning but I didn’t want to waste my momentum. This outfit is really coming along! Next up, I need to trace master patterns and see if I can actually fit everything onto my piece of fabric. *crossing fingers and toes*
