Pompeii & Fandango dress

1. Created a simple A-line dress for each performer using their measurements, with darts in front and back panels for shaping.
2. Seam allowance added around the whole pattern before cutting out.
3. I tacked along all of my chalk lines.
4. Drew  out a template for myself to create the applique.
5. Ironed on bondaweb fusible to the applique fabric. Cut out shape.
6. Lay design out onto the base fabric, pin down. Secure in place by ironing.
7. Zig zag along the edges of the applique for the best finish.
8. Sew up side seams only.
9. First fittings with performer.
10. Once happy from fittings, and adjustments been made. Attach zip in center back. Ensure it is not visible from the outside.
11. Add lining/facing to the top seam (around neckline & under-arm).
12. Herringbone stitch the hem.
13. Apply fringing/tassel to the inside of the hem (as desired by designer), and along the top of the garment (as desired by designer).
