Fantasy Bodice

A Renaissance fair fantasy bodice I made for a friend. It has 14 pieces of boning in all giving it a strong flat front.

The outer fabric is a polyester suede, it is interlined with a heavy cotton twill and lined with navy cotton broadcloth.

The sleeves lace on with self fabric bows through lacing rings.
