cream poplin bodice
Nov. 29th, 2015 11:59 pmBetween yesterday and today, I got the bulk of the work done on the bodice. Just have to do 8 more eyelets, which I'm not terribly inclined to do tonight.

hharris pointed me toward one that did have a very contrasty contrast piping, so it is legit, if not usual. I decided against it partly because in this instance it felt a little too costumey, partly because I only had scraps so I'm not sure there would be enough, partly because I suspect the wool would bulk the seams up more than I want, and partly because I suck at making piping, and a high contrast color would make my woobly piping more obvious!
It is woobly, too, at least on close inspection. Far-away inspection I think it's alright! So the piping is off-white silk taffeta
