The importance of boning a bodice ...

I've just finished uploading information for making the boned bodice that was used for the black wedding dress (above). It's more detailed than the information originally completed - mainly because I didn't have time! This has now been included on one of the pages at Stitchery-doing (click if you want to follow the link & find out more).

I've also uploaded more images & processes involved for making the entire dress (& have still some more to go) & these can be found here at CiCiDesigns.
