Whipped up a pair of bodies last night! (=17th century bra, if you're confused.) pink satin with a white border 👙 mulling this over as the undergarment for the dress whose fabrics I posted last night - that was the plan, but I'm not sure whether I want a more conventional boob shape. Hmm... #historicalcostume #pairofbodies #sewing #undergarments #pink #spirallacing

An idea, three evenings of work, and voila! An early 1600s pair of bodies (predecessor to corsets). I modified one of our shop patterns to fit me (tbh i should make another pair to fit even better, they're an inch too long at the back and too large at the waist still) and I love them! Unboned - outer layer is cotton duck, interlining is buckram, and lining is...more very heavy cotton. Also, spiral lacing is amazing. #historicalcostume #historical #historicalcostuming #17thc #17thcentury #bodies #pairofbodies #spirallacing #handsewn #handsewing #sewing #undergarments #vintagebinding #foundationgarments
