Day 51: Black Knit Skirt (High Waist)


This day I made up another of the outfits I drew yesterday in art class; a high waisted skirt, meaning that I would need to create a skirt in part on the skirt template and in part on the shirt template.

As far as technical details go, I will skim the details here, and cover things more fully in my technical blog.

Obviously there was the issue with the skirt crossing templates, which turned out to be quite easy, given the texture and color I chose - matching across this seam must be a nightmare, one which I sidestepped. Then I learned about making the waistband - not by following the contours on the template, as it happens. The next task was making the neck band; I first of all just wanted to make it a nice even shape, but then thought how much more polished it might look if I added a band at the neck.
You can see here that I managed to make the seams match up reasonably well :)









The buttons were ones that Tateru helped me make, as I had no idea how to construct them myself. Not quite what I had envisaged, but it gives me a good idea as to how to proceed next time.


The make up and perhaps even the skin are a little pale for this hair, but I was in a hurry to take the photos and run; as it is, it has already rolled into day 52 for me before I have finished this post! The skin is juicy by BettiePage Voyager. The shoes are paradise by X3D. The hair is mariah in seashell by Sirena Designs.
