In this assignment, we had to make a garment for a barbie doll. I choose to make a halter top, with netting around the deep-v neckline and a drop back. The dress has two darts on the front and back to show off her curves, with a slit on the front right leg. The bottom of the dress has three bands of netting to peek her legs and give the dress an edge. Then, we made a technical flat and personally I had to modify the pattern pieces to my own liking. I am confident in this design plus, the garment came out wonderful enough to be in competition!
The most difficult part would be that I had to modify the pattern. The pattern before was a tall neck, floor length dress, with no sleeves. I modified the pattern into a deep-v neck,halter with a drop back and princess seams. Personally, I thought it would be a good idea to use the machine and it began to eat my fabric! The fact that you could not even tell that the machine ate it, is a wonderful thing on my part. It was a challenge, but I am so proud of how it came out. I do love the deep-V with the netting around it, adds and edge to a sexy look.
