The bodice was patterned as a body block first and then converted into a princess seam front. Each piece of the bodice has three layers: matte satin as the front, flannel cut on the bias, and then coutil with plastic boning. For the skirt, I used a ruffle foot to gather it. The sleeves have a normal fitted short sleeve under the gathered sleeve, and then polyfill is put in to achieve a full look.
