sewing curved lines and combining fabrics

In tandem with my Fashion Design class, I take a 3D Design class. This class focuses on sewing skills and the ability to interpret an idea and execute it into an actual garment. Here is an example of a dress design I came up with. I made the paper pattern and ensured the measurements would work well on the dress form. Two things that I enjoyed exploring the most in this project were sewing of curved lined and combining fabrics of different weights. 

Curves require precision and patience. It is important to connect the fabrics properly and at the right angle in order for the curve to be smooth and not have any gathers or imperfections. This dress has many a curved line as I decided to insert piping around the larger curved areas (in grey). 

I used two different fabrics to ensure this dress would drape properly and keep shape at the same time. The top (grey) and the piping (light beige) are cotton. I also interfaced the piping to reinforce its shape. The rest of the dress (brown) is polyester and is more fluid in order to allow for movement. 

Et voila, here is the finished dress!
