Subject: What about making the stripes with ribbon or some sort of trim/fabric strips sewn on after you dart the bodice? Author: .

My daughter, fairly large busted, has decided she would like a bodice with 1/2" wide stripes down the whole front of the bodice. How would you go about doing this, I am pulling my hair out, going round and round in circles. I am truely stumped! How do you keep them all 1" apart.......I'm going slowly mad......" on Thursday, July 30, 05:24:26am [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date The stripes will emphasize a full chest. A solid dark velvet bodice with color or pattern up by her face would be better. just trying to help Friday, July 31, 08:53:27pm I'm very large-breasted and would never want stripes on my dress. But you may need to show her what it will look like. (more) mp Saturday, August 01, 10:54:08am brilliant suggestion! (NT) -- *, Sunday, August 02, 11:16:09pm Hi there, original op here. Thanks for all your replies. I maybe did'nt explain myself very well. My daughter is a senior dancer, with a bust, 34b, calling her large breasted is not correct. I meant had beasts as apposed to being flat chested! Please find attached pic of the look she really likes. Thanks again.http://www.dance.net/topic/8421106/1/Dresses-Costumes/Red-and-white-Gavin-Doherty-Dress-in-Excellent-condition-700-GBP.html&replies=0 (NT) -- ;-), Monday, August 03, 04:08:36am What you are discovering is this style is better for not-yet-developed dancers (like my 17 year old, LOL). Adding stripes to the curves is going to create some kind of optical illusion, depending on your solution. (NT) -- Try the mock bodice with some striped cotton, Monday, August 03, 09:35:25am Like the other poster suggested, you really need to do a mockup to figure out how the stripes will look, and what the best way to do them will be. You might do 2 mockups, one with the the stripes added before darts, and one after darts. (NT) -- good luck, Monday, August 03, 12:42:41pm Hi there. What a good idea, 2 mock ups, I will give it a go and see which looks better, if any............ Thanks for all your replies.
