Advance 7931, Navy Corduroy Dress

Bodice Construction

I've been able to work on the bodice and get it done to the point where I can either add the sleeves or start working on the skirt. 

The darts were done first, then the front yokes were added.  Note that the yokes and fronts are not even at the edge.  They're not supposed to be, as the extension makes the button placket. 











The back is pretty simple, being gathered to the yoke and then later gathered to the skirt. 


With side seams and shoulder seams, the bodice is ready for the next step.  I'm not sure exactly what I'll work on next, probably the skirt.  We'll see - looks like a busy weekend.

Parting Shot:  Bubble Wrap.  Yep, Wellie likes to lick bubble wrap, too!
