I will be using two separate fabrics for the bodice and skirt, so thankfully, I will not have this issue. <br /><br />With skirt pieces as large as these, the straight of grain and bias parts of the piece may have differences, but sometimes the changeable look of the fabric is fantastic, so it is a hard call to make. And then cameras sometimes bring things to light that the human eye would never detect, which is always fun. <br />Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-54843182377206048262012-10-07T00:12:52.441-07:002012-10-07T00:12:52.441-07:00One thing I would like to say before you cut into ...One thing I would like to say before you cut into your fabric is to consider the cutting layout. I used a crepe-backed satin to make this gown and followed the cutting layout exactly.Because the bodice was cut along the grain and the skirt along the crossgrain (I hope the terminology is right) the bodice reflected light differently to the skirt and it was really obvious in some of the photos. The bodice looked like it was from a different length of fabric because of the colour variation.<br /><br />aisling (patternreview/stitcher's guild)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-85672869373860702812012-10-06T19:31:46.241-07:002012-10-06T19:31:46.241-07:00Looks great so far!!Looks great so far!!Sew Me Lovehttp://www.sewmelove.comnoreply@blogger.com
