The muslin fitting is an opportunity to make changes to a design, ensuring that the finished product lays correctly and has proportion. While in New York selecting fabric, Stephanie fitted Grace on one of Punk Rock Bride's models, Jae.
Stephanie's meticulous patterns paid off, and she was pleased with the overall fit on Jae.
Some adjustments need to be made before the dress can be produced. According to Stephanie, "The waist will come out. You can see how it's bunched around the waist and pulling at her hips. Bringing out the waist will also bring out the hip." Jae is not a typical size 4 model, she's a size 8, which makes her more difficult to fit because of her curves (ironic, no?). Since Stephanie is selling gowns to real women, and most women have curves, she prefers her models to reflect that. She also plans on bringing the skirt insets up and in a little; to her educated eye, the looked "a little off."
Finally, Stephanie will adjust the straps in the back. They were slipping off Jae's shoulders and need to be brought in so that they are more stable. You can even see in the closeup of the back view where Stephanie drew on the fabric!
Coming up next, fitting the finished dress on Jae!
