The fabric
I selected was a very light faux suede. To achieve the
heaviness of the original fabric, I built stiffness into
the fabric. |
Using an
iron on fabric glue paper called Heat n' Bond, I covered
the entire bottom part of the skirt and ironed it on. |
Then I cut
a heavier fabric using the same pattern and placed the
two fabrics wrong side to wrong side. |
 |
 |
 |
I ironed
the two together, leaving enough edge without the glue
for easier sewing. The fabric weight was much closer to
heavy velvet after this process. |
In order
to help the under skirt with the fullness, I sewed in a
series of boning and heavy anchoring. |
And folded
it over at the edge. This is a bad example photo, but all
I have. Really, you should do the boning at the hem after
you sew the dress together! |
 |
 |
 |
The top of
the dress I didn't reinforce with the Heat n' Bond, but
merely doubled the fabric and sewed it together |
Here are
the pleets I put in to the back of the dress. |
This is
the two sides of the pattern for one of the sleeves. |
|
|
|
  |
 |
 |
.This is
the sleeve on the dress. It is the best photo I have,
unfortunately. |
Here is a
close up of how I sewed the lining to the edge on the
sleeve and the first rendition of the hood. In the
updated version I altered the pattern to give more of a
turned over edge (pictured below) |
This is
how the hood started, a bit more oval than a semi-circle
in this rendition. In the final version it was even more
oval. |
 |
 |
 |
In order
to keep the fullness of the hood but not have a thick
fabric gathering, in bothe versions I cut notches. |
Here is
how I sewed the notches together |
They ended
up looking like gathering. |

|
 |
 |
And here
is a vew of the hood after the notches in both the fabric
and the lining were sewn. |
This is a
view of the movie version. It is sewn tucked under the
collar. |
Here is a
very sloppy picture, but the best one I have of my second
version. You can see the larger turned hem, but the
fabric has bunched, obscuring the attachment. |

This is
how long the updated version back looked. |
This is
the hood from the movie. |
