Subject Author Date that should read of bodice skirt...and my email is now included... (NT) unemployed & trying to make something out of nothing Thursday, August 07, 10:46:14am What is a "bodice skirt". Are you talking about needing a mock up of a bodice or a 4-panel skirt? Most of us DM's make/create our own patterns, however, Feisdress has a great pattern with a blog for multi-panel dresses. (NT) -- ???, Thursday, August 07, 01:06:25pm Sorry... I mean how the bodice attaches to the skirt. We've looked at the feisdress site but are still having trouble with the modifications... (NT) -- sorry I'm confused, Thursday, August 07, 02:04:03pm The easiest way to do it is to complete the bodice seperately and top stitch it to the skirt. This requires a completely finished/lined bodice. (NT) -- Easiest way, Thursday, August 07, 02:56:16pm Here's something for nothin...try the free dressmaking resource at www.dancingoneire.com...it lends itself very easily to doing a four panel instead. I know anita also does mock-ups for her clients, so she may be able to help you with that too! (NT) Good Luck! Thursday, August 07, 05:54:21pm You could go to your closest fabric store and get 5 yd of the cheapest and probably ugliest fabric they have and make your own mock-up as a learning attempt. Good luck! (NT) LynnOH Thursday, August 07, 11:17:14pm There are many ways to do this- a dropped waist bodice can be attached to the skirt, or a normal bodice can be made with a matching pointed panel on the top of the skirt, creating the illusion of a pointed waist. There are so many styles and many ways to create the same look. Top and bottom can be topstiched, sewn right side to right side, or made into a 2 piece. If your mom is a sewer, have her look at pictures of your favorites and improvise. That's how we all do it!
