March 2007

Next I tried to make a long sleeved bodice. I made the TV460 1885 cuirass bodice out of black taffeta and trimmed it with lilac fur. I made it with the low square neck.

Patterns used:

Unfortunately there are also no pictures of me wearing this bodice, as it has never left my closet :-). Maybe someday in the future.....
