Ballgown Bodice Building Workshop
We'll measure, draft, fit, and trim a bodice that will turn heads and eyes green.
We'll focus on how to alter patterns and fit to your form, sewing techniques and historical methods, and creating something you will be excited to wear and proud of. Historical style patterns will be used.
As always, our workshops include a tea lunch on both days and a wonderful community. Registration is limited to 5 students and spaces fill fast.
We will be using historical Victorian patterns and modern-created Victorian patterns and will have the patterns available for tracing. We will focus on the construction of the bodice, fitting it, and correctly wearing it.
If you have a corset you plan to wear under this bodice, we recommend you bring it to class for measurements and fittings.
Students that might not be confident sewers: If you can sew a straight seam, sew a curved seam keeping the seam allowance even, and are familiar with troubleshooting your sewing machine, you will do wonderfully. If this doesn't sound like you yet, consider taking our machine basics class in November at Arapahoe Community College which will prepare you for this class.
Materials and Items you will need to bring with you:
Your sewing Machine
Measuring tape
Thread, needles (for your machine and hand sewing)
Scissors for fabric and scissors for paper
Fabric marker or pencil for marking on fabric
Pencil for pattern tracing
Ruler
Pins or clips to hold parts together
Pattern tracing paper (I recommend Swedish tracing paper or Pellon 830 easy pattern tracing paper)
Fabric* for dress and mock-ups (and trim if you plan on trimming with fabric)
Notions such as buttons, boning, and dress hook and eyes
Corset for fittings if you wear one
If you are a DVSS member, message us for a coupon code for a discount on your registration.
We're excited to see you!
