In this video, the amazing @LiljaHusmo teaches us how to drape a Victorian bodice block, so you and a friend can make a custom-fit Victorian bodice block to utilise for your historical ensembles! The entire process of draping a historical bodice block is covered, including how to drape sleeves which is often a part that gets left out. Being able to fit historical fashion patterns, in particular mid-Victorian, can be quite complex, and this method is meant to serve as a guide to get you started on a well-fit pattern that you can then make a mock-up of and adjust subtly as needed before making a Victorian bodice or the bodice portion of a Victorian dress. A big thanks to Lilja Husmo for doing this demonstration! Be sure to go and follow her YouTube channel as she makes amazing videos. A big thanks as well to Sandy for helping with the filming!
