Fucking darts the placement is so inconvenient but look at this side-by-side and tell me this pattern isn’t exactly the perfect shape for Galadriel’s chestplate:
Obviously the bottom hem needs a bit more spring and a different curve but I’m making a fucking waistcoat so it’s not like i’m that concerned about being screen-accurate. The buttons will be replaced with hooks and eyes so that i can make the edges meet exactly in the center without overlap. And obviously the collar will need to be altered, both for accuracy and comfort.
I essentially want this bodice to be functional as a cosplay and potentially as an evening gown bodice as well.
These are the colors I’m contemplating right now for the final version:
I’m leaning towards lower left but I need to get swatches to make sure.
