Tyrell bodice foundation layer

[mala_14]

So here it is, one layer of drill and one layer of broadcloth. There is also a little bit of boning (skinny cable ties) marked out by the erasable fabric marker. The boning on the sides adds a ton of structure and help keeps things stable. The front boning adds a little more oomph (but maybe not quite Margaery Tyrell oomph. Padding?). I may need to cut away a little bit at the neckline. I think the halter is a bit too wide. Other than that, I think it looks pretty close. I really like the back especially.

Again, wonderful! And with this comparison - yes, definitely padding. Positioned under the bust it will add support as well as oomph.

Thanks! Yeah, I think I need to pad this like a push-up bra.

looking great! and yes, i see what you're saying about narrowing the halter. it seems to narrow to almost nothing at the neck. the back is soooo elegant!

Thank you! I love the back on this and feel that more backless gowns may be in my future now that I have a better understanding of their workings. :)

Thanks! I'm still making improvements, but I'm almost at the point of putting the fashion fabric layer on. :)

This is coming beautifully! It's such a complicated fit, but you're really conquering it :)
