frualeydisToday I tried on the bodice for the first time, and to my great joy it fit almost perfectly. Since it was a new pattern I wasn't sure how it would fit, but I just needed to shorten the straps a little.
After this I added a layer of buckram over the centre front on the front side of the bodice, and a smaller piece on the back. And boning across the other bones in the back of the bodice.
Now only lining and top fabric remains. And binding the tabs etc.
Now I'm going to cut out the top layer and then I'm going to make Lebanese food for dinner with my neighbour Anna.
