Week two, Bombshell Dress bodice is done!
I have so much to say about this but for now I’ll just say two things:
1.) If you hate hand-sewing this is not the project for you (lol), and
2.) I always knew I was a little OCD but this project has been a real eye opener for me as to what really gives me deep satisfaction, and this type of sewing is 100% where it’s at for me. I’ll be doing a lot more of it after this 🙂
So without further ado, here’s a gratuitous shot of the insidey bits:
and the outside:
Next up, Week 3: The skirt & (my first!) lapped zipper!

Thank you! 🙂 I gave myself a month to do it, and it’s been tight but it’s keeping me moving! lol ^_^

If you can’t find something let me know; I can tell you where I got my stuff 🙂

awesome, thank you! My biggest worry was the spiral boning but I got it yesterday! Did you use any online websites for stuff? I need to add a few to my bookmarks. 😛

Yeah sure did! I’m in Canada so I ordered boning, channels, and some other corsetry stuff from Farthingales 😀

Awesome! Definitely allow lots of time; it’s better not to rush it, ‘specially with the hand sewing ^_^

This progress looks great. You have a bombshell body – so this will be the perfect dress for you. I cannot wait to see this finished.
