I found today extremely daunting yet very exciting at the same time. I began by cutting a whole in the centre of the fabric and draped this over the stand; I then began pinning the back as I felt more inspired with the back than the front. The photographs I used for inspiration were taken from Harper's Bazaar, November 2010, a photo shoot by Mark Pillai.
When I then had to move onto the front I decided to keep it quite simple, so not to make the whole piece too busy. The back is so interesting so the front turned into a V-neckline with several pleats going into the cleavage. To get a nice shape around the bust I gathered over the bust point, and it created the perfect shape. The gathered/pleated neckline proved tricky at the bottom....so I cut it off!! I added a panel to fit in the front of the bodice.
