Draping the bra top on the mannequin, the pleats were very difficult to manipulate but the finish is well worth it.
The top image is straight off the mannequin, I created a pattern from this and recut the shape to make the pieces below, which is a lot neater and should mean the bra top is balanced and symmetrical.
All pinned back on the mannequin to manipulate the pleats, now all I need to do is press and manufacture!
Central pleats pressed and stitched in place
Manipulating further on the mannequin and pinning the back strap in place.
Finished piece, I am pleased with this, this has been my first attempt at draping a garment and I am glad I chose to use it.
The garment gapes a little bit but seeing as its going over a body suit its not much of a problem, also I believe it better for it to be a little too big when it comes to fittings week!
