I wound up breaking out the overlocker all day instead of working on horns. Which was probably wise. The rain is still leaving everything damp so curing would be risky.
So I zipped around the edges of my Worth sunburst skirt (the satin is so perfectly buttery that it was just nice to do!) and used the drafted bodice pattern from the 1876 tool to trace a new pattern for my new Phantom wedding dress bodice. I did use the vintage organza after all so that leaves some of the crepe for a potential Moulin Rouge dress. If I ever find a trim that works!
So that was tracing and transferring the pattern to a layer of twill, a layer of calico, and a layer of organza then overlocking all the edges tidy.
And then finally I cut the trim for my Cleves sleeves having removed the colour from the silk. And that leaves some softer trim for the undersleeves.
And finally, my last cast from my Ahsoka molds finally worked!
Do you have any patterns for this dress (I LOVE POTO) I really want to make this costume. (I wasn’t on planning on doing the big skirt, just the ropes and bodice.) If you have any tips or help. Please let me know! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. You are a costume genius.
Thank you 🙂 I originally used an 8 panel ball gown bodice as a base for my first version, which then was adjusted to make a 10 panel bodice.
A wedding gown pattern section is probably going to offer a good option as it will include instructions and material guides for making a self supportive bodice 🙂
