atherleisureAfter I made the new 1860's corset this summer, I knew I would have to refit the bodices on the dresses I made to go over the old one, but I didn't know how bad it would be. Last night I tried on the evening bodice for my late 1860's dress to see what I would need to do. Fortunately, I just had to let out the top of the darts. I was expecting to have to take it off the skirt and pull off the piping and maybe let it out at the side seams, but none of that was needed. I tried on the Le Baiser dress too, and it looks like I won't have to make serious modifications there either.
I did find that the tucks I took in the neckband of my almost-sleeveless chemise were seriously restricting my motion once I put the corset on. I was able to rip out the center front tuck while wearing it, and that made a definite improvement. I had to take it off to get the tucks out of the shoulders so I need to try it on again with the corset tonight or tomorrow.
