I am so thrilled the book I ordered "The classical tutu" came in over the holidays and it is everything I had hoped for!
I have constructed the first bodice out of a batiste fabric. I am using the 8 piece bodice pattern from tutu.com. I will be changing the neck line after the first fitting. I would like to see how the pattern fits first before I start fussing with it.
I am off today to go and get muslin as it is on sale at Joanns this week. I will make the full mock up once I have the bodice is fitted. I am planning on making a corselete with pettycoat attached, it will close with hook and eyes. Then I will make the dress and attach the corselet to the dress at the top. I am planning to close the dress with covered buttons and loops. I think I have my mind wrapped around the top of the dress but not 100% sure about the skirt. I think an aline but wondering just how to do it the way I want the finished skirt to look and I am not sure on the train I guess it will depend on how long the bride would like it to be. When it is time to open the veil I am thinking the train needs to be just a little longer as to not put any stress on the veil.
I look forward to the first fitting. My daughter/bride is coming over tomorrow to be fitted. I will post pictures of the fitting.
