I’m so super proud; look what I made!! π
In case you didn’t know, that’s my Bombshell Dress muslin! Yeah that’s right! Maybe it doesn’t look that exciting but believe me, this muslin represents a huge leap in my skills, because I literally had to drape/draft my own bra cup pieces in lieu of doing an FBA.
I did of course start with the original three pattern pieces that make up each cup but I had to essentially redraw two of them entirely, and one was almost twice the size – hyuk hyuk lol. It’s hard to tell from this pic cause the original piece hasn’t been trimmed to size, but check it out:
That was week one, and I’m already into week two so I’m hoping to get a good bit done on the bodice for my next post! π

Thanks! It’s a wild ride; you’ll love it! π

Wow! I have to admit that the main thing that has put me off launching into this is knowing that I’ll have to redraft the cup pieces. I can’t wait to see how you get on with this.

That was a head scratcher for sure at first but the video explains how to do it – I just had to do it on myself instead of a dressform lol

Nice work! I’m seconding Vicki in saying that I’ve been hesitant to get started on this because it is going to be a challenge with the cup redrafting… Look at you go, lady! Impressive!

Thanks eh! I’m still gonna sew the cup one more time to make sure I got it right; that inner bit is tricky! lol

I’m in the same camp as Vicki Kate and Amanda! So impressed that you have taken the bull by the horns! And so looking forward to seeing your progress x
