Adventures of a Wanna-Be Seamstress

The life and times of an obsessive costumer

Sunday, November 30, 2008

Guess what I did this weekend?


Bodice, fully constructed and lined. Boning channels down the center front "V"


Skirt - grey wool flannel along the top edge to pad out pleats. The top edge is curved to follow the "V" in the bodice. On the right is the center front slit.


"V" pinking, and trim pinned.


Sleeve constructed, sleeve pouf attached at sleeve cap.



Trim pinned in place on the bodice, sleeves attached. The shoulder and around the neck will have one more row of trim above the one already in place.

Still to do:
-Sew rings down center front bodice
-Sew hook and eye at "V" point
-Cartridge pleat skirt
-Attach skirt to bodice
-Hem skirt

That will complete the gown itself, then I still need to make a shirt and a false front for the bodice. Not bad for a couple of days of work!

Citation Notice

In the past, I have been a very bad blogger indeed, and have not always cited my sources. (I am trying extra hard now to make sure that going forward, things are cited properly!)

I am also (slowly) going back through old posts and providing sources and citations. This will be an ongoing project, and may take a while, so please be patient.

All that being said, if you see something on my blog that is improperly or not at all cited and/or credited, and you'd like that information right away - please, please let me know, and I'll get the post in question updated ASAP!
