1868 Evening Bodice

[atherleisure]

I finished the evening bodice for my 1868 dress. I wound up making a belt to go with it too since otherwise the trim looked a little goofy. I think I have enough fabric that I could make tails to go on the belt, but I'm not decided on them (or excited about them) yet so it will be this way for a bit. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.











At the end of my self-timer pictures, my son insisted on taking a picture of me on the stairs, and it turned out surprisingly well. I think it's about my favorite picture, which amuses me, considering his age.

Wow!! So very pretty!

I love the fact that you did both an evening bodice AND day bodice!

Thank you. I love the skirt so much, it needed another bodice. I'm hoping someday I'll get to go to one of these conventions where I can wear the day bodice during the day and switch to the evening one for evening. Unfortunately, CLW doesn't look like it's in the cards this year.
