I should put in something about the placement of the boning, because the pattern says very little about actual placement, only giving suggestions. I learned from another set of stays that the customer had where to put the boning - for example, you need one piece of boning underneath each dart in the bust. That makes 4 bones and a busk across the front, for proper support.LadyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432701276403404166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194531442956395065.post-38018603173764323802015-12-13T15:44:20.885-05:002015-12-13T15:44:20.885-05:00Now, this is gorgeous and I know it is a pain to l...Now, this is gorgeous and I know it is a pain to learn while making, but your comments have made life so much easier for the next person who sees this and makes the same garment. Every photograph helps someone else. Thank you. Do you use Connie's pattern making book? I learned that making a pattern with her directions while using the paper pattern as a kind of sloper made fitting far easier. The 3 wedding dresses I made I did this way and by the time I was putting pieces together, everything fit perfectly. For me, her book has been a life saver as much as a time saver.<br /><br />DeleteLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015201053200202647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194531442956395065.post-89551533443963139862015-12-13T15:42:52.950-05:002015-12-13T15:42:52.950-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015201053200202647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194531442956395065.post-68901649057974637352015-12-13T15:35:07.104-05:002015-12-13T15:35:07.104-05:00Funny how the figure looks more hourglass from the...Funny how the figure looks more hourglass from the back than from the front. Under a Regency dress, though, I'm sure that effect will disappear (given the cut and petticoats fashionable at the time). Nice work - looks good!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242503212913962081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194531442956395065.post-11267427538274030492015-12-13T15:31:10.128-05:002015-12-13T15:31:10.128-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242503212913962081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194531442956395065.post-29970569067926421142015-12-12T09:54:24.864-05:002015-12-12T09:54:24.864-05:00Great job, looks perfect, even though yellow is no...Great job, looks perfect, even though yellow is not my fave color, lights or no!
