final garment

Photos of the finished garment

This photo shows the difference between the sleeves, when it is hanging from a mannequin and when it is worn. This is to show the ruching of the sleeve itself and the effect it gives.

Back view of the garment, showing the concealed zip on the side seam. This wasn't as successful in my opinion, because of the way it sits on the dress, and how it sticks out around the shoulder curve on the garment. However, this was the only option for where to place the fastening on the garment, so it was necessary.

The drape of the chiffon pocket is beautiful, and really compliments the design. The structure of the organza works well, especially with the gathering of the sleeves, as it holds in place easily.
