1860’s BALL GOWN BODICE
A princess seam construction makes this bodice easy
to fit and sew. The puff sleeve with bows or the bell sleeve change the
bodice from fancy to tailored. The bodice closes and fastens in
the back with lace that is drawn through eyelets. The bodice is boned.
The point may be made shorter without changing the overall look. Looking
for a skirt to wear with this bodice? Order #P700 skirt (below).
The original fabric was a black silk faille trimmed
with a heavy black lace and small black jet beads. A watered taffeta, a
changeable silk taffeta or a plaid weave taffeta are particularly good
choices.
The puff sleeve bodice requires 4-3/4 Yds. of 45
inch wide fabric. The bell sleeve bodice requires 2-1/8 Yds. of 45 inch
wide fabric.
