So despite a stomach flu, I finished the bodice of the 1850’s Day Dress! It was quite a challenge since I had to redo the sleeves twice to make sure that they fell just right. Oh how I love seam rippers!!
I added piping to the armholes, the neckline, and the bottom of the bodice. I didn’t add the undersleeves in the picture, but I will be making them to fit under the pagoda sleeves. My plan is to begin working on the skirt this weekend…not sure if I am going to add flounces or not. I guess it depends on my patience level!
I am also looking to either purchase or make an 1865 elliptical hoopskirt…any ideas or suggestions for a pattern or seller?
Enjoy your Friday everyone!!
