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.
