Dare I say it? I don't know if I should as the evil witch of the sewing world may be listening. Yes, I dare say it. The bodice for the sailor dress is going sort of well! I think maybe I will allow myself to get a little excited..
Since I don't have a pattern for this dress, I have decided to mutate the Truly Victorian 1903 plain blousewaist. I worked for quite a while on it putting pleats where it looked like they were on the original. Everything looks great, but it is a bit too small....I'll trace the pattern out in 2 sizes bigger so it is a bit more blousey....
I had some Minnie Mouse polka dotted material left over from Mom's corset. I need to buy some sheets for mock up material...
Front seams look pretty ok... also, I will be dropping the front down a bit more. The original pattern has the front really low as it is a pouter pigeon front, I whacked it off a bit too much...

Hard to see the back pleats. I think they will work just fine however.....
Tomorrow, I'll start over with the bigger size. I pray that the evil witch of sewing land stays away...
