Act II Dress

I'm starting to make a copie of Elphaba's act 2 dress of the Broadway production Wicked. You will be able to read here below the progres of it. ( just scroll down) I'm sorry if somethings aren't clear in English for i'm Dutch.

         
Oke I started all over again cause the bodice just wasen't fitting right and i decided to make it a dress and not a bodice and a skirt. i made a princess line for the right shape then I made a large skirt and an loose bodice to stich al the differt fabriks on and stuff

         

Then I start to make the collar, it's a upstanding collar with a little v shape at the front and lace comming out of the collar, then I made a start with the bodice i just cut some shape's out and then stich it with a zig zag stich, the colors on the pic are brighter then it is in realy life

         
then I cut some strokes of black fabrick and lace and sewed them on the edge of the v shaped bodice. then i sewed a piping threath for a nice finish as wel at the bottom of the bodice. the i stitched the bodice on the dress only at the top. after that i put the sleeves in and the zipper at the back.

    

As you can see i moved up to the attic where i can make as much mess as i want!! :P

    

Oke, I made a start with the skirt (what have i got myself into!!!) I bought 3 meters of black, 1 meter of blue and 1 meter of red fabrick. and cut them into strokes of 6 centimeters. I babylocked one side and the other side with a regular lock. the botom stroke is 6 meters long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

         

The following pictuers are in black and white because i shot them at night and because of the light of my camera the colours kept showing realy weird.

         

The end result is placed at the fan made costumes gallery
