I’ve spent the last two posts sharing the details of inspiration, patterning, and making a 1797 sleeveless bodice. Now it’s time for photos!
The new bodice is named for the vibrant colors I chose for it. Lime green! And pink! Ok, watermelons are a deeper shade of green, generally speaking, but the green and pink idea generally makes sense!
I enjoyed the minute details as I created this garment. In the photo below, the gathers of the peplum at the center back and along the sides are visible.
The back of the bodice rises up a bit, just as the dress underneath does. That is visible at a bit more of a distance.
I wore the new bodice with my 1794 Windowpane Ruffled Dress and 1790s Organza Cap With Gold Stripe Trimming.
It was all very grand. Fluffy, elegant, and extremely fun to wear!
