Hello everyone, I welcome you to my blog, happy to be here once again
I made this basque waist gown for my self, why I like it is the fittedness at the upper part and freeness at the down part.
The basque waist gown is a fitted bodice that has a -V- shape below the natural waistline, often extending over the hips. The bodice extends below the natural waist usually longer than the half length of the body. I paired it with a skirt length of pleating which is what usually brings out the beauty. I used a bright coloured pink with a touch of white material and thick in texture.
Measurement needed
Bust - 34
Waist - 28
Hip - 35
Sleeve length -32
Round sleeve -10
I measured 19 inches which is more than my half length. I added joining allowance. I made a simple princess cut on it . Following the np(nipple to nipple) measurement, which is 7 inches plus half inch allowance for joining.
I didn't make the back to have a basque, it has a straight dart and 2 inches zipper allowance
The lower bodice( which is the pleating), I measured twice the waist 28 * 2 with zipper allowance, it's 2 inches as well to align with that of the upper bodice.
I made the sleeve straight with an elastic casing at the wrist
