After receiving the rendering and research I began with padding my form and draping the apron bib.
I used used a pattern of a similar apron to determine how it would fasten at the back.
From there, we had a fitting for the mockup and I adressed the changes in the width of the bib and where the straps fasten in the front, along with the placement and size of the pockets.
The last adjustments were to add a matching collar and cuffs to the black bodice and adding a black ribbon to tie at the neck.
I then made both a black and white mobcap to finish the look.
