Burda Style For people who sew
Description
That piece was drafted by me, the pattern is historical but has been renewed and optimized in it’s correct fit quite a few times. Nevertheless, it has managed to stay quite “original” and is common for theaters or movies to use it for costumes. I drafted it with my actual measurements and reduced the waistline about 6 cm and there was no need to define more. When I wear it, theres a gap in the back with about 4-5 cm, because I actually don’t want the fastening to touch neatly. I plan to lose weight, so maybe later the gap will get smaller. The main reason is to be flexible with weight without ruining the fit. :)

That’s stunning! If you apply the same dedication to the fine arts your paintings must be quiet something!

It’s beautiful. I’ve used lace on corsets before, but never thought to use it like this, very clever. And It’s the best way to do it if you leave a gap at the back, because it can shrink as you do :D
