No pictures today, but a short update.
I have cut out and measured some key points in the pattern. With this being a fairly simple bustier, rather than a corset, I have decided to wear one of my purchased corsets underneath, so I will have that lovely hourglass shape. This will require some re-fitting of the pattern, to follow the shape of the undergarment. I put the corset on my dress form, and adjusted the outer measurements to match my own while I am wearing that corset.
I will take a snapshot of the dress form with the corset. I had purchased it from Felix and Kitty, a Canadian boutique. http://www.felixandkitty.com/ They travel across the country, selling their products at conventions and shows. They are wonderfully built, with quality products, and you can have one custom made to your measurements. I love wearing mine, and it is quite comfortable to wear all day!
That was my plug for the day! LOL! But seriously, I love it, and their prices are quite fair. These are difficult garments to make, and I have tried!!
So, stage 1, tidy the sewing room to a usable state, has been accomplished. Stage 2, cut the pattern, took almost an hour (imagine pinning and cutting all the fabric!!!) has been completed as well. Even though it is Friday, and we have many social activities planned with our Mothers, I hope to get all my pieces cut, and the bustier sewn this weekend. That will require the most modification, so I will do that first.
