One of the most convenient things that I have found
is that once one has a working bodice pattern, making different gowns is
easy. Although there are other cuts that were utilized, in examples like
the Phoenix gown, I use the same pattern because it fits the shape of my
body. (especially the shoulders which are hard to fit. Instead of the sides
lacing, I stitched the side seams. |
