Jae’s Version of Vogue #2890

We’ve had Vogue #2890 by Bellville Sassoon up at the workrooms a couple of times over the years, and it is always a crowd-pleaser IF you pay attention to what you are doing AND you don’t mind adapting the shape just a bit in the back of the corset and bodice.

Jae worked this up in a gunmetal grey silk chiffon for an event.  The only differences between the construction here and when Debbie Permoda made it are that Jae kept the front simple and we reduced the volume of fabric in the chiffon overlay of the skirt.

Vogue #2890 that Jae worked up at the Tchad sewing studio chicgao workrooms during her sewing classes - the back panel has been changed to fit better,
Back detail of alteration – the back panel comes as a one-piece bias-cut back, but has consistently worked out better and been more flattering as a pieced back….

Overall, Jae kept this under more control than the space calls for by controlling the volume of the draping.  She created a more refined look.
