Designer: Bill Brewer
The bodice was required to be draped. I was given a sketch of a boned bodice and padded a mannequin to match the model’s measurements. After the fitting, I transferred the corrections onto the paper patterns. The bodice itself was finished with a combination of piping and bias tape, where one side of the bias tape is folded, and the other is piping. The closures were sewn on, and then the embroidery was sewn on.
