Bodice Pattern
- This is not a new sew project.
- This is complex and multilayered.
- I use boning, fabric and nude inserts. The fabrics used will be the exterior, lining and in some places and on some piece interfacing if necessary.
- Coutil cloth is what I typically use next to dancer's skin.
- If the fabric has no 'give' I may insert elastic between the boned pieces to give dancer security and comfort.
- If the fabric has no 'give' or if interfacing will be used there is no point in cutting on the bias.
- If the fabric is stretch there is no point in cutting on the bias. The stretch is already there.
- The purpose of cutting on the bias is to exploit the natural expansion a fabric has with a bias cut.
I will add the individual pattern pieces in PDF tonight so that you may enlarge by 100 percent and have a usable pattern.
My favorite twelve piece bodice pattern for a size six dancer.
In cutting the center front piece cut it with the decolletege piece in the fabric.
Remove the piece and use that for the pattern for the nude insert.
It is best to fit the dancer with the decolletege piece in tact.
Will link to actual pieces soon that you may enlarge on copying machine by 100 percent for usable pattern.

This worked so great for a size six. Thanks a million.
This is such a great gift. These are hard to understand and expensive at the store. Printed it out and adjusted it. Thanks a million.
thank you very much for the pattern, I hope to attempt this soon for my daughter.
