Sketch of the Dress

What would the dress have looked like in 3D?
What would the flat pattern for the dress look like?

Here's a sketch of the dress, used to diagram out some of the measurements as part of the patterning process.

Sketches of the Dress

What would the dress have looked like in 3D?

With the dress properly mounted, it provided a wonderful opportunity to record what it is really like in 3 dimensions. Before taking several photos of the dress on the mannequin (shown in a previous post), Lydia made a pencil sketch. Often line drawings are more revealing than photographs, which can be difficult to "read" with all their colors and textures.
