The Making of the Ragamuffin dress. ( work in progress)

The starting point for this style was the  Eve dress

 This is a wedding dress was created for a ceremony, in a field ,on what would likely be a very hot day.

Lets start with a tip for constructing the back yoke which I call the 

"Lazy Burrito" method.

 

 Then the following changes were made to the original style.

1. I added a Puff Reach sleeve by adding fullness to the Reach sleeve and a partial elasticated casing at the upper arm.

 

 We made a video about this.

Here is a link to the youtube video

2. Added fullness to the skirt and lengthened the back a bit.

The photo below shows the fullness of the skirt from the side.

A bit* more fullness was added to the back sections of the skirt.

* about twice as much.

We also toyed with the idea of catching up the skirt either with ties or a vertical casing.**

3. Added a pseudo welt pocket.
