Sew along: Gertie's charm patterns; Stanwyck bodice

 

The idea

I love Gertie's vintage style and I wanted to make a bodice to go with my high/low skirt. I don't really look good in yellow (although I love the color) but I thought this fabric might have enough white to make it work.

The pattern

This chic cap-sleeve bodice coordinates perfectly with the skirt so you can make a  wardrobe of fabulous dresses as well. Add the removable collar for even more options. The bodice is fully lined without facings for a clean finish

Additional info:

• 2-20yo (US but they are larger than the big 4), I use the size 16 (normaly an22)
• Bustsize A-H (for a total of 5 sizes) I will use a D/DD
  
• Recommended fabrics: light to medium wovens
  
• not rated, but instructions are sufficient and tutorials are online
  
• Stanwyck skirt pattern for sale on charmpatterns
• This bodice expansion is for Patreon only (a kind of subscription) 
  

The fabric

• ca 1,2 meter cotton 
• ca 0,8 meter lining
  

Cutting the fabric.

The bodice front and back fit nicely next to each other on the fabric, so It doesn't use a lot of fabric. For the peplum skirt it did take a bit more fabric.
