1840s Bodice

This project challenged me to research historical patterning and create the period accurate shape of the 1840s. 
It was especially challenging to create a garment based on a designers idea, rather than my own. Learning how to collaborate with a designer helped me to get insights in professional practices and gain important experiences.
