The fourth dress in my collection is proving to be the most difficult to construct - although i have learnt to love a challenge! In my mind and design the dress's skirt is highly structured and a very rigid shape, which is proving hard to maintain. So far i'e used spray starch, interfacing and boning in various places to try to maintain it. I also tried to create a suitable underskirt with both metal and wooden rods in the hem to keep the skirt shape intact. Although these worked to begin with, after being modelled for a while, it was clear they wouldnt stand up to the pressure of a catwalk and were discarded.
So the earch is still on...
