Final garment for the costume store

Victorian Blouse

I've had a very productive start for the third and final garment for the costume store. 3 days in and I've already made up the sleeves and put my darts in the front and back pieces. I'm feeling really positive about the blouse as I've looked at the sample and noted how each part is made and in which order they'll be made in which fills me will confidence as I know I cant get on and make it on my own instead of waiting on my tutor for instruction which is what I was like at the start of SDP.
The most time consuming part and the part that needs the most attention is the pleats on the front of the blouse. Each pleat needs to measure exactly 2cm in width and line up with the pleats on the other side of the button stand. I'm looking forward to this challenge as I'v never pleated anything on a garment before and I want to keep up the good standard of work that I believe I've maintained well so far.
