totchipandaI made my pattern, cut and sewed a mock-up, then had to re-make the fronts and try again. I think the back looks great!
But the front (version 2) needs a little work...
I left the gray cover up to show where my stays show, the horizontal pin towards the bottom is where my stays end, and the horizontal pin up near the waist is where I think the curve should be, this one is just too wide and shallow. Josephine isn't the same size or shape as me, of course, and her waist is smaller than mine, though she is close. I find only a half inch or so off the bottom ought to be sufficient.
I'm also wondering if I should really spend some time on a different set of stays. The ones I have are an earlier style with a removable stomacher that frankly hurt my boobs today (maybe because I am wearing a sundress with a somewhat compressed bustline), and also a later style may change the shape of my torso that I want to account for.
I'm off to the sportsball game, will return to sewing tomorrow. Thoughts and opinions welcome!
(I so need to rehem that petticoat. It puddles on the floor. I need shoes but not that tall of ones!)
