Finally, the steel for the panier that I bought arrived. After I inserted the steel into the channel, I wanted to put them on the mannequin to see the effect. Unexpectedly, a huge problem occurred: the width of Pannier was widened, but I did not change the waist part, so the opening of the waist was too wide to be wore on the mannequin. So I had to add calico on the waist part. Although the panier could be put on the mannequin, another problem comes out, the shape of the panier was changed. I’ll just have to figure out how to adjust it later.
I make the corset: I cut two layers of Coutil Plus Calico and put boning in.
To see the overall effect of the sleeves, I use a layer of soft net and layer of voile, mount them together and then attached them on the base. In the beginning I used a lot of fabric to left some room for modification. The fabric inside the sleeves made at the first time showed too much, and then I cut both the height and width, but it seemed to be a little not well-stacked. Then I cut some new net and Voile again and only short the height, gather them up, the final effect is satisfied.
