divided bum pad
Jun. 4th, 2015 12:14 pmMade this in a couple hours the other day. I have completely, 100% copied A Fractured Fairytale's awesome bum pad(s). (Or tried to anyway.) This striped cotton is not ideal but it was stash fabric so there.
I tried it under a petticoat. I like the shape but wow, holy butt crack! I wanted a divide of course but this is a bit much.
I tried my padded petticoat over it as well to help soften/reduce the split, but it was just too much volume and the shape was too large. So hopefully the second petticoat and the gown skirt will soften the shape slightly.
( more! )
I have also done two mockups of the bodice pattern and it's almost ready to cut. The only thing I am not perfectly happy with is my shape in my stays. There's plenty of boob support (even despite the aforementioned hoisting) but the waist is so big. I am lacing the stays completely closed but I would be happier going smaller. I feel a bit barrel-like; there is only about 1" of waist reduction.
I am not going to make new stays right now and I don't even want to mess around with modding these, but it's a drag that I am making this dress to fit over these ones when a better pair might be in my future. Ah, well, a minor complaint.
