Then came the boning and that perfectionist in me started panicking. How am I going to line up the tape so that I don't have messy lines on the front? I had to sleep on it, and am happy to have that step completed.
The base fabric is the same used for the muslin, a pin striped cotton canvas.
This is the face side with the bones inserted in the casings, it looks a little wrinkled but on the body looks much better. You can see the hip fullness starting to take shape.
The red is a silk satin repurposed from a bride's maid gown.
Here are some other pics from earlier steps...
Since I was short on satin I had to piece it to make up some of the panels.
The pile of trimmings from the inside seams, the process before the casings are attached.
More to come later in the week.
