I have finished the chemise, neckline and all.
And now I have started the short stays.
This is a very interesting garment, considering I have never seen one in person. I figure I will just consider this a practice since I don't really know how it is supposed to look when it is finished. I was having problems fitting it at the early stage.
The straps are being a problem. I tried them one way, didn't seem right, tried them another way, didn't seem right. Since I have been with my grandaughter for a few days I hadn't had a chance to check the original pattern. Today I did, I had them right the first time but had already ripped out the seams. The original pattern had it marked on which side was the outside but I hadn't marked it on my copy pattern!!
Well, I fixed that little problem.
It seems there is a bunch up on the top sides so I may have to put a dart there in the end, but I know things will change as I go on.
I used my punch for making the holes for the lacing. That worked perfect
And I do want to brag about my eyelet holes! First time I've done them by hand. They turned out pretty good!
