The next layer of the dress is in chiffon and satin, and is all about hold everything up and covering the underbodice with a looser, fashionable shape. Using the pattern pieces an adding where needed, a toile isdone in calico, then when happy with the fit the chiffon and satin cut and made up. Fit here mainly involved more at the shoulders.
Check how the lower sections go together with their related underbodice pieces. If you don't understand it on paper, you'll be even more confused in fabric!
This toile fits somewhat better than the previous layer!
Comparing the original with the size modified:
Checking fit in the real fabric:
No pictures of this bodice layer in the making, I'm afraid, so on to the top layer!
In calico: (before and after enlarging)
and in chiffon: (lace underneath for next stage).
This is definitely a dress which is unconvincing until the whole lot is put together!
