I am sharing tips and sewing footage all about fitting a woven bodice that reaches the natural waist. You will see flat pattern vertical measurements and adjustments to help you fit your own bodice. I am using the Lyric dress bodice from Love Notions to demonstrate the easy process.
I am making a new size and will adjust according to my current body measurements. You can get a great fit too!
The Lyric dress (Love Notions) has had a sizing update to include 0-32US sizing. There is also A-D cup sizing available. It’s $5 today Friday the 25th. This is my affiliate link: https://www.lovenotions.com/product/lyric/?affiliates=366
