Cartridge Pleat Skirt: Design One

Using the pattern as a guide I worked out how much more my pattern will need to be to go around part of the bodice. I then first did a sample cartridge piece.

Upon pinning this to the bodice hem i noticed that the curve on the pattern did not go on long enough to incorporate the point of the bodice. I therefore marked where the curve needs to stop on the skirt. 

I have also decided to place a seam down the centre of a cartridge pleat to create a longer skirt.
