Today's video is a pattern making and sewing tutorial all about how to draft and sew a Renn Faire, Fantasy, Pirate bodice or doublet! I am plus sized, but anyone of any size can follow these instructions to draft a fun costume! This sewing project was inspired by 16th century fashion, and it's really a jumping off point for your creativity as it's customizable. It will be perfect for any of your cottagecore, piratecore, fairycore costume needs! Thank you for joining me on my plus size historical sewing and costuming adventures!
