Drapery Pattern

I took apart my dress and layed each piece flat on the table. Each one I traced around and created a paper pattern piece. The shapes that I have for each piece look very strange. Last lesson I made sure I marked in every direction, notch and what each piece was. I understand now how important it was to do that. I have already put the garment back together and had to alter the patterns because the shape was wrong. I'm finding this part of the project very stressful at the moment, but I'm sure when I've finished the garment it'll all be worth it.
