evening bodice

[madamemodiste]

So I began cutting out fabric for an evening bodice that can go with either this new overskirt or any of my other NF skirts. So I have to make it from an all black taffeta so it can mix and match. That means I need to make removable trims to match each skirt. It will have an open square neck, short draped sleeves (sort of like the girl on the right) and a long pointed back hem.

And in an unrelated note, here is a pretty fashion plate from the New York Public Library online catalog.
