One green velvet bodice, coming up!

Today I have been working on the bodice of Faerierhona's dress.

It's three layers - one green velvet, one lining, and a layer of interfacing in between.
Yes, you can see raw edges on the outside - they'll be encased inside a creamy-gold binding when it's finished.

Rhona's green velvet dress


I'm not going to put the eyelets in the bodice or attach the skirt and sleeves, until Faerierhona's tried the bodice on, and we've checked that the waist is in the right place, and that it fits properly.

I'll be working on the sleeves and the skirt in the meantime, but I won't put all the bits together until we've made sure that the bodice is a good fit.


Don't the colours look lovely together?
