Process of Making Gown Park II

 You may want to read Part I first.  For this continue from there.  I'm just going to run through the steps quickly.  Each of these steps deserve their own posting for expanded detail explanations.  Perhaps in the future posting, but here goes for this one.  =)


Cut out all the pieces of fabric, interlining, lining, fusible (if your using them).


Fuse the the bodice.


Base the outer layer to the bodice.  Do this if you have more then one layer of bodice sewing together at once so the fabric won't shift while sewing.  


Sew the seams together.


Press the seams open.  I pretty much have to press every seam that's being sewn. 


Attach the boning to the bodice.  Depending on how structure you want the bodice to be, you may want to put more boning if you want more structures.


Sew the bodice to the facing.  Top stitch the at the facing.


Hand base all the layer of the skirt together.  This one has six layer because the tulle is super light and sheer.


Attach the skirt to the bodice.  Sew in zipper.


I added a few tucks at the side.  Put on a belt.  There you have it.  =)
