Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This project was to help us with a basic understanding of how a boned bodice is constructed. We all had to have the same princess seam silhouette, but the neckline, length, and closure was up to us. The princess seams on mine have a skinny ribbon stitched over them for added detail. I also found the trim at the top that was crocheted with holes in it, so i weaved the same ribbon through to tie it all together. It is unfinished at the bottom so when it was being graded the inside construction could be graded.
Material Notes
silk duppioni with satin ribbon and a crocheted trim

well, i already knew how to put boning into a bodice, so that wasn’t anything new, however, i did learn that you have to put the foundation zipper in facing out so that someone can zip it up for you! Oh, and waist stays can save your life!!
