Picture #2: Fold the fabric on to the opposite side and pin so you can draw the pattern

                    Dobla la tela del lado opuesto y con los alfileres pincha la tela para luego proceder a dibujar el molde


Picture #3: Use a top with no sleeves to help you make the pattern

                    Utiliza un top que no tenga mangas así vas a poder guiarte con el para realizar el molde del vestido
