From using two different types of jersey, silk and a heavy cotton jersey, we could decide what we wanted to use. We didn't like the sheen of silk jersey but liked the weight of it, however we didn't like the weight of the heavier cotton jersey. We decided to use a lightweight cotton jersey in pale grey for both dresses to keep the dresses consistent. We feel this fabric will also give our dresses the best drape.
We also needed to finish our final garments properly, as we only overlocked the edges of our toiles as it was too small to finish neatly. We decided to use the double stitcher to finish the neck, armhole and hem as this gives the dress a more sportswear look.
Because our pattern pieces were so large, we also had problems fitting them on our fabric to cut them out. This meant the conjoined dress had to be made slightly shorter however we were happy with the changes as the general look of the dress wasn't altered in any way. We also realised when we made the final dress, it would have been too long if we had kept the original measurements.
