This pattern has a page and a half describing how to make piping, including illustrations, but there was nothing about how the bodice is supposed to be closed, and maybe a total of a paragraph’s worth of actual instructions on how to assemble the bodice. I ended up having to consult costume collectors about what would be a correct back closure for this bodice. the finished product looks nice but it was a real pain to make.
