Today I was introduced to the Victorian Blouse that I shall be making as my last garment for the costume store. Dexter explained the features of the shirt -
- The pin tucks
- The smocking
- The frills
As much as this shirt looks a challenge it should hopefully be worth it. As a group myself, Erica, Philip and Emma sat down and discussed how the shirt should be made. Again with my previous experience from the two previous garments I knew how important forward planning would be for this garment. It seems to require a lot of thought process when considering the elements like the frills, as these are concealed in the seams. Also the tucks being so small (an eighth of an inch wide!) that this will really require some precision and accuracy. The smocking technique is completely alien to me so that will need some assistance. Fingers crossed there aren't too many problems!
