Gathering the Bodice

To do this I almost tripled the length of the bodice in fabric and then bunched the fabric up and used pins to secure. The gathers where then later sewn into place at the seams.

It was difficult to get the shape of the gathers right at the top of the bodice due to the tricky structure.

I found the best way to do this was to put less gathers into the point areas, this made the fabric easier to manipulate into the top of the bodice.
