Hi everyone,

I have a current project that is a bra/skirt costume. The skirt is made like an older-style bella with a velvet and chiffon pull-on skirt. I want to bead the hipline fairly lavishly with swirling motifs, but I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to lay out the pattern on fabric that will end up stretched when worn. Does anyone have any experience sewing projects like this? What is your advice?

I may post pics of this project later on to better illustrate what I'm trying to say, but it won't be until after I get home late tonight.
