The back of the bodice..

These are some pictures of the back and side of the bodice.

I decided to incorporate the side seam into one of the pannels. This was before I realsied about the strap having to reach over the shoulder to the back as you can see!

I am going to make sure the back and front curves are the same.

The back of the bodice. I ironed this as I pinned the pieces and it has made such a difference. The piece seems to sit better and seems to create a stronger shape.

This shows the strap from the front of the bodice going over the shoulder onto the back. As you can see it isn't quite long enough but if the sleeve and strap were to be in the correct position of being off the shoulder it is just long enough. Note: makesure the fabric is about an inch longer than need be just incase of any extra movement needed!

At this point I also began to start playing around with the sleeve. This was farily tricky as the position of this is such an odd one to try and do on a mannequin. At this point also I was running out of time on this piece and I have still got the skirt to construct. I feel that even though this sleeve is not technically correct, it shows the correct shape for the piece. I also feel that because i constructed a proper sleeve for the last pice, that this one is not so important as I was more interested in the bodice and skirt.
