Bodice Mock-up part 1

I drafted out the bodice for the candy bustle, based on Jean Hunnisett's late 1860s bodice (view E), with some shape and lots of size alterations. And I cut out the mockup. But that's all I got to today. I hope to get it sewn up and fitted tomorrow. I tried some new stuff with bust adjustments which I'm hoping (fingers crossed) will make it so I don't have to do most of the standard mockup alterations I tend to need. But I can't promise much sewing tomorrow, since I'll be working at the theatre from 11am-8pm. I'm working as the dresser/wigs help for As You Like It at Seattle Shakes. I sent my resume out to them and a couple other theatres for overhire work a few weeks ago, and it's really exciting that they responded, since they're one of the top theatres in Seattle. It's just minimum wage, and it's not a ton and a half of hours (and hopefully it won't conflict with Space Needle hours, which I have yet to receive a schedule for), but at least it's in my field! And it's certainly a great step in the door for my first(ish) foray into the Seattle theatre scene.
