Emily's Wedding Sketch

So, this is my working sketch.  I constantly make adjustments as I am draping.  So Emily, I have changed the back a bit and added in lace details since the last sketch.  There is a lace lining under the bust line and all around the opening in the back.  The shoulder detail is also lace, just under the neck.
Another adjustment was the swag in the back.  That draping piece of fabric.  I tried to drape it asymmetrically (only on one half of the back) and it didn't look quite right with the dress.  It looked like it didn't go anywhere, so I made it one large drape that starts at one shoulder and continues to the next shoulder. I am going to do a little more research on 1940 couture, I want it to have the vintage feel you love.  It isn't true to the 1940, but I want to give it the same feel.
