Edwardian Bust Improver


Heeeey, hope you're having a lovely day!

Saturday means new post here! Today I'm going to show you how I made my bust improver which is part of the underwear, contributing to the silhouette of the time. It increases the bust, making the person have a higher bust, looking like a pigeon breast. 





This picture shows the differece when you're with the bum pad above the skirt and the bust improver, makes the right silhouette.

I printed the pattern made by Cat's costumery on her blog and she also made the bust improver on her youtube channel, here's her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leW0dItyCzI .




So, let's get started:

You'll need:

Fabric of your choice, I used cotton.
Thimble ( if you're doing hansewing)
Thread
Needle
Trims (lace)
Filling ( polyester or leftover fabric)
bias tape

1-  I put the pattern on the folded fabric.

2- So I cutted.

3- I drew circles where I should put the filling.

4- I sewed one part and left the other open to put the filling.

5- I sewed around the circles, to give the correct volume with the filling inside.




6- Then I sew where it was open.

7- I put the bias.




8- you can add lace if you want, I added to mine!




And, it's done!




This was the second easiest thing I did, I liked it, I still have to try it on with the full outfit, but I'm really happy with the result. 

What did you think? tell me in the comments!! 

Thank you for reading!

Have a wonderful day, see you next Saturday!

Edwardian Gown

 Hello, friends! Hope you're having a great saturday! Today is the last post related to my birthday project, which was inspired by the Edwardian era, so today it is about the dress that is actually a skirt, blouse and belt. I bought the mold from blacksnailpatterns, which has very good patterns, I highly recommend it! At first I was going to buy pure silk crepe de chine but it was very expensive, so I decided to buy another type of crepe, ana crepe, I bought 7.5m. I decided not to put any ornaments on the clgarments, because the fabric is the most beautiful thing alone.  It's made of polyester but does not heat anything, remembering that if you can't buy expensive fabrics for your clothes, it is good that you wear cotton / linen underwear so that your body can breathe better and you feel more comfortable. The pattern is very easy, in the part of the blouse you basically need to close the sides and make the finishes and the skirt may be a little complicated, there are severa...
