Thanks Emma

If you cut the skirt in one piece aline it should fall nicely

If I do this and then I'm not happy with the width can I add the gores later?

If the costume is only for one night and doesn't need to hold together for a whole 6 week run of a show I'm all about ease and speed

So hearing you! The festival is all weekend and it is going to be a yearly thing plus we have other dress ups in the village (carnivale, Halloween etc) so hoping I can get lots of wear out of it @emmavmorgan

Yes you could add the gores later but remember the wider you make the skirt the more hemming you will have to do

I know but I want to feel like a princess so will be sad if it isn't wide enough

I'm too scared to make a pattern decision or cut into my material

I know that fear but do it anyway.

I'm just so worried that the pattern won't work as the arms and the dress are all one piece have you looked at the pattern @JabberJabber do you think it will be OK?????

I'm confused as to which pattern you are using...

Do you have any practice fabric you could use to test it out?
