looking for a pattern - unusual bodice
blessedtosew Intermediate AL USA Member since 4/16/08 Posts: 860	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 2/5/13 3:48 PM I love this Lanvin dress: The bodice is very unique. It almost looks like princess seams but then it doesn't. There seems to be a 90 degree angle at the armhole where the side front pieces meet the center front of the bodice. I am thinking a true princess seam would not work because the matching of the stripes would not work well due to the curve. Has anyone seen a pattern with a bodice like this one? I have seen some close, but none exact. I am wondering if I could achieve a similar look using M6278 ViewB If anyone has a better suggestion I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. -- Edited on 2/5/13 3:50 PM --

How did I miss that since I follow her blog? I guess you just have to be really careful with the stripe matching on those seams. I noticed she made her fabric but I think I am going to try and find some first.

It's an effing train wreck. I tried every bra I own, and the outside top of the cups poked out. I had to redraft it. -- Edited on 2/6/13 1:11 PM --

More pics of Lanvin's creation are at net a porter

I did not even think about looking at Birds. That bodice is perfect. I will definitely muslin it to check out the bra issue.
