mala_14Well I think using my body block/sloper really did have some kind of magic. My mock-up fits pretty close to how I want it to. There are a couple of lines I need to change (raising the bodice under the arm and having it go slightly farther back) as well as a small dart and a couple other very minor changes, but other than that, I'm quite happy with it. I'm planning on following ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nuranar's fantastic suggestion to have a dart in the lining, but not in the fashion fabric layer. If I can keep this dart small, I think that should work.
Looking more closely at pictures of the original, I think I will have to add a bit of boning. So instead of 2 layers of drill, which I think will actually end up being too stiff and not good with the dart, I am going to do 1 layer of drill and add 2-3 bones in the front that fan a bit and 1 bone in the side. The shoulder pieces, which connect at the corner under the arm and in front of the arm will also help with support.
In an interview, Natalie Dormer/Margaery Tyrell said, "There’s so much infrastructure in Margaery’s costumes because my breasts don’t naturally sit in that position." Neither do mine, Natalie, neither do mine... So boning it is! ;p
