Leslie and I love to create one-of-a-kind gowns for her performances... a real treat for a dressmaker!

I also made a sort of corset, using the same lining fabric, with its own zipper, for extra security on stage (big breaths!!) and this is attached to the bodice top and sleeve openings only. The skirt has both an underlining of organza and a full lining.

How did you line the bodice but not the sleeves? When/how/where did you sew the lining in? Posted: 2:05 pm on May 14th
