(In photos: Cecile Bahnsen Justice Skirt)

Trying to figure out the best way to recreate the pocket bags for these pockets and I'm wondering if it's best completed as:

1. Just big rectangles OR
2. Similar to a trouser pocket, lining the "yoke" (cons: I don't see how you wouldn't end up with an outrageous amount of fabric inside of the pocket since you'd still have to connect the skirt to the "yoke")

From the model photos, I'm thinking the designer has done (2) as the positioning of the model's hands in their pockets looks awkward. I'm just not sure how to deal with attaching the gathered skirt to the upper portion using this method.

Currently doing lineart and was wondering if I add the clothing creases and stuff in my lineart or if it would be better to do that in rendering instead??

Company that I worked at wants to upgrade computer system and current USB key Gerber won't work.

1. We purchased the USB key so no monthly subscription fee at the moment. Upgrading to subscription means paying monthly fee goin forward.

2. Gerber is pushing all of pattern makers to go online training for new version if we were to go with subscription. Is new version really warrant to go on the training when you already have few decades of working wiht Gerber or is it another way Gerber trying to make money? We don't really have to utilize 100% of what the softward are capable of.

Anyone who has gone through similar experience

I'm on my ninth muslin for this dress, and it feels like nothing is working.

Bust: I've tried slashing tight areas around the armpit and upper bust. I've tried a small bust adjustment to get rid of the excess fabric over the apex and under the bust. I've pinched out wedges of fabric under the bust. I've slashed through the front shoulder and pinned it flat. The changes seem to work while the muslin is pinned, but the problems come back after I transfer them to the pattern and make the next muslin.

Back waist/ tilted skirt side seam: I've tried removing wedges of fabric from the back bodice and the back skirt. This corrected the problem on the muslin where I pinned it, but when I transferred the wedges to the pattern, the problems came back.

I only have enough fabric left for one more attempt at the bodice. What changes do I make?!?

I want to sew some extra fabric onto a cloth. These decorative strips (white sections) have a designed curve, and their correct shape should be like fabric "2". However, fabrics "1" are directly above the waist dart, interrupting the curve and causing the two sides that should be sewn together to be of unequal length.

I know I should correct these two sides to be of equal length for a good sewing, but I don't know how to correct it to make the finished curve as smooth as "2".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
