Originally, I slashed into this central panel to gather up one edge, all the way from the shoulder down to the skirt. Upon pinning it to the mannequin, I realised that any gathering around the stomach area would look unsightly. However, I loved the drape in the skirt due to the flare that I had added.
I re-traced the panel, adding notches and slashed into it from the opposite edge, allowing the drape to fall on the other side of the skirt, following the curved style lines. I felt that there were not enough gathers in the diagonal panel, so I cut up and extended the pattern. I only added a subtle flare to the back central panel, but extended the gathered panel over the shoulder so that it became part of the neckline at the front.
