So for the first week of the project I was working on the understructure for my dress. My tutors said I didn't have to make it but I figure it's a good thing to learn (especially cause I did it a bit wrong...)
The corset from my last post is now essentially finished, need to do the final bit of strap and bind the top edge:
So then I moved onto the panier (pannier? I'm not sure of the spelling on that one). There was a lot of sewing seams, then zigzagging them down then doing that to another seam, and channels and box pleats. Hassle. But lovely in the end. Originally I cut my steels about 5 cm too small (I have literally no idea how, I had overestimated), so I had to take the whole thing apart and reconstruct it a little smaller, but I don't think that's really a problem:
I'm pretty frickin pleased with myself it must be said.
