For the second dress we were given chiffon, which is known to be a difficult fabric to work with so i didn't want to do anything too complicated. I like the way chiffon looks when it has been gathered so i decided to just cut the chiffon into 2 big rectangular pieces to gather them and make a yoke for it to be attached to. Because chiffon would be very difficult to use to make a yoke, i decided to get an easier fabric to work with, i used a cotton and bought lining to go underneath, i found it difficult to line the fabric and especially on the neckline where it kept gathering, i made snips in it to loosen it but i think it was the tension on the machine that made it have a slight gather in the end.

I also didn't know how to completely make the raw edges of the yoke go into all the lining so that everything would be neat, also when attaching the chiffon bottom half, because the yoke was small it meant i couldn't put it inside of the lining and the cotton, so you could see the stitching on the outside which wasn't what i wanted.
