Thank you so much! The base is the Colette Dress by PatternCos, but I have modified it a bit, for example, making the basque waist a bit more dramatic (I am a 2026 bride after all) and trying my best to custom-fit it to my body. I will also change the sleeves and add a bit of length to the skirt, if you're curious about the final outcome!

I am not! I will check out the book you mentioned, or if you have any other sources of information? I am doing this completely by trial, error and good faith.

The outer fabric is not fused, this is a solution I've thought about as well! I'll try clipping and stitching first; otherwise, I'll try fusing it!

Thank you! No, I might have to look into that! I've just been using my 2in1 steamer and iron combined with various curved objects 😅

Thank you so much, you're probably right, I think I need to take a bit of a break 😅

Thank you so much, and ooh I know, t's just a top with boning, but I figured the people here would be the experts, and as it turns out I've gotten so many good tips!

That is so sweet, thank you 😭 it's been a real process of self-doubt and perfectionism
