The back of the bodice is just two pieces, one right and one left, although it looks like four. The "seams" are actually tucks. The lining is one piece. The tucks are sewn about 1/16" from the fold, and look similar to piping. The bodice is decorated with narrow self piping at the center front, armscyes, shoulder seams, sleeve seams and above the sleeve puffs. The bottom edge is bound with thick, round piping about 3/8" in diameter. |
