For some reason Period Impressions bodices fit me better than any of the other Victorian bodice patterns I’ve tried. There was only a little unnecessary room through the bust/shoulder area. It is hardly noticeable. I used hook and eye tape for center closing; it worked well. Cathy’s bodice is pictured with Period Impressions #603 Overskirts.

Beginning level. This is the very first costume piece I sewed. I credit the ease of the pattern for my success, as the instructions were clear. I made the bodice in the same fabric as the skirt and added the sleeves in black organza. I think the sleeves are very effective and easy to make.
