This book explains all aspects of bodice, basque, and panty sizing and construction, calculating ruffle lengths and layer widths, ruffling, hooping, plates, peplums, and overlays, and much more. Two methods of attaching ruffled layers are discussed: working from the top layer down (easiest method), or from the bottom layer up (more difficult, with alternating layer placement). Please note: Bodice and Panty patterns not included. This book includes instructions for the 8-Piece Adult Bodice by Claudia Folts; however, other bodice patterns may be used.
