Tweaking the decoration

Placing and Practising

Tweaking the decoration, I spent a long while playing with and working out the decoration. I knew I wanted to interpret the design slightly differently to how it was placed on Dexter's sample; Dexter's idea was to have the petals as though falling across the dress as though blown there. I wanted to keep this gently hap-hazardous feeling but create more shaping with it. I created a really soft line across the body with slightly more fullness over the bust and sweeping to a very fine line across the stomach to the skirt. As it reached the skirt I wanted a very gentle fan which was slightly wider to the right side to keep the asymmetric line continuous across the entire body. This differs from the sample which is a gentle sweep across the body continuously building rather than expanding in and out.
