IT’S A working progress.

I’ve been a bit lazy with posting updates however I have been busy KNITTING.

After choosing my fabrications-wool, I was happy to finally start my designs. This is what i'm using! the blue/grey is so beautiful and soft hence the 70% ACRYLIC and 30% MILK, how
ever when its rubs against other stuff its starting to become very furry, (something i hate!! thats why i didnt choose 100% wools). the white is 70% BAMBOO AND 30% COTTON again has a soft hand, altough tends so drape more, and the other two balls natural colour and the black is 40% ACRYLIC ans 60% COTTON my fav, except driven my insane as Patons is discontinuing this product, i have called up every store across melbourne in desperate need to get more, however i was lucky enough to get my hands on some and bought many many balls! so i will be very very busy knitting KNITTING KNITTING.

The dress is fully knitted and comprised of several panels to assist with shape and fit of the body.
Overall I am happy with the result, however the seam running horizontally (dropped waist seam) detracts the eye from the overall dress, breaking it into distinct sections, bodice and skirt, this is something I will consider in the next designs which will flatter the design and the models waist line.

Here are a few images in progress.

Weighing the pieces before putting together to work out costing, by working out how much the garment weighs and how much yarn used. (It is heavy)
