Major Project - waistcoat and skirt

Today I started the draft for the skirt. I removed the darts and used that to give the skirt its flare.  A have decided on just two layers and I will applique the origami onto the front.
The pattern went quite well and I have decided to self line the skirt so that I can add some structure within the silhouette  I now have to decide on interfacing or bondaweb to add structure, but can I get bonaweb in large enough pieces?  Some investigation needs to be done.

The waisrcoat drafting didn't go quite as well. When I used the block I felt that the toile was too loose and I leart thst the whole garment will need lining and interfacing. I started the drafting agian fron scratch by using the stand and tape. I then attached fabric to the silhouette shaped pieces and used these to create pattern pieces. I added interfacing to the toile to ensure my judgement was correct. But now I have to think about the tail of the waistcoat and what to do.
