Here's the design I've decided to go with for my dress, as well as a few other ideas I had a play with along the way. Typical me, I've gone for the most complicated one there, but I've fallen in love with the criss-crossing panels and the way it perfectly works with the zigzag waist. It also reminds me a little of the sunbursts that Sarina was referencing at the start of the project, so that's always a plus!
Of course it does mean that my ingenious plan to cheat bias cutting by keeping all my sewing lines on the straight grain has been scuppered somewhat. Never mind though, I always like a challenge! Making sure these seams are immaculate is going to be one heck of a job..
I haven't yet decided whether to use the same design on the back of the bodice or to possibly get rid of the silk diamond shapes on the back, so theres just the crepe, and the draping silk sides - as in the drawing. We'll see how I feel after I've gotten the front sewn up.
