Mannequin switch
Well, we knew that even the child sized mannequin was slightly too big for our dress, but I thought we could still work with it. Turns out we're doing so much of the patterning by draping now, that it really makes too much of a difference. So, we have returned to the mannequin we used to mount the dress for photographs early in the process. This is still a bit problematic, as this is a mannequin we made ourselves years ago, and it doesn't have much structure. I've added many shoulder pads (it didn't really have defined shoulders to begin with) and stabilized the shape as much as possible. Also, it's shorter than the original, so I still have to remember to account for that.
