Macaron Progress

I'm sooo Almost there. If I hadn't gone out last night it would be done but I just have the Sleeves, zip and hem left! I've had my wobble about if I like the fabric combo thinking it looked too textural and busy but after sleeping on it (the idea not the dress.) I think It looks pretty good this morning. Please excuse me holding it together at the side. I have a feeling I may have to take a few bits in. I had to take a bit off the shoulders but thats it so far.

Heres a closeup of the top. Excuse my top underneath. I haven't snipped into the neckline yet either.

Quick parting shot and back to it!

Macaron Muslin done...

In a frankensteiny kinda way... I get way too impatient with muslins. When I started this one, I thought I'd need to cut a smaller size but after putting it together I think i'm happy for it to be slightly slouchy and comfy but still its nice to know a size down would be good too.

Its botched together very quickly as I have a 5000 word essay due in very soon. But i'd ideally like to get this project finished asap!

I only did one sleeve (but I love the little design detail) and pinned the bodice to the skirt.

I was a very good girl and I did do both pockets because it's the first time i've put a pocket into a pleat and that was the part that took me the most time.

I was amazed at how lovely and clear the instructions are! It went together like a dream! Now I intend to cut the pieces out tonight in front of a boxset of Abfab with my housemate.
