1880 bustle bodice repro

This is a shot of me making the pleats for the bodice hem.  I used 100% cotton duct, basically black canvas I wanted the garment to be durable and washable.




The following is my adaptation of the 1880 bodice pattern I found at www.koshka-the-cat.com


Detail of buttons and buttonholes.

I decided to use pleats instead of tabs like the original.


Back panels.


The finished bodice with my beautiful kitty's fur all over.
