This is the bodice I am going to attempt to make a close reproduction of....close because it would be impossible for me to get the exact fabrics, there is no pattern, and it is very fragile so I don't want to explore the construction too much. In fact, I try to handle it to the bare minimum.
The lining is a very thin cotton fabric, the netting is a tiny bit less weight than what I will be working with, and the lace is not available to me, it will be really different. But hopefully it will look similar.
This is the netting I will be using. it is a cream color.
The bodice netting has lots of tucks!
So this is as far as I got the other day.
Then as I lay in bed that night I realized that lining was WAY to white. So yesterday, when I got up I took out all the basting stitches holding the netting to the lining, separated the two fabrics and dumped the lining into a coffee bath! I had dyed the lace on the skirt with coffee already.
Next post I will show you how it changed the look!
