Ok... so I didn't mess up on how I cut the fabric, but I did forget something very important... I did not wash the fabric before cutting. So now I have two options. 1. Continue making the dress with the current fabric. 2. start over again with new fabric that will be different from the original.
If I go with option 1 I will then need to get the dress dry cleaned, or at the least wash it and let it drip dry. Option 2 gives me the chance to make this dress over again in a different color and this way I will know that the fabric will not shrink on me... I think I forgot to tell you that my main concern was that the fabric would shrink.
I think I am going to go ahead with option 1. Worse thing that happens is that I make a second dress with the other fabric. On the plus side, once I get this dress done I should feel more confident in making another. I have a lot of fabric and a few dress ideas that I could use my fabric for.
Hopefully I will be posting new pictures soon!
