The making process of the toile.
Toile 1:
Toile 1 was the first attempt of making the skirt; (before making a start on the toile the stand was not set to the models measurements which was a down side of the process).
The first toile when done was to big on the stand as the darts puffed out and excess fabric at the back, which meant I had to deduce few centimetres of the first toile to create second toile pattern.
Toile 2:
Toile 2 was a perfect fit on the stand as did not had to make any changes to the toile. secondly i cut the towel to knee length short.
Toile 3: before making toile 3.
At this point I was heading to make the final skirt as I had the measurement of the model; as I set the stand to the models measurement and then when tried toile 2 on the stand it was to small for the models measurement and toil 1 was to big and not a figured fit. (the image above is toile 2 as I have shortened it more, i like the short length of the skirt as it goes with the research of muslin women and girls are not allowed to wear short dresses as they have to conceal themselves from strangers. The short skirt toil also add empowerment proving that women can make their own decisions and not live by others rules).
The pro about toile 2 when fitted on the stand ( with models measurement) the front of the skirt was perfect fit as the darts were smooth and lined; as it was to small at the back and could not connect around, this means that I only have to extend the back of the skirt( toile 2) to get the right and refined pattern for toile 3, to make it a measured fit.
