Join me on my latest sewing project, another pattern test for Kenna Sews! This plus size Victorian bodice was patterned from an extant garment and could also be used for early Edwardian fashion with the provided alternate sleeve pattern. I enjoyed delving into fashion history on this project and used a combination of hand sewing and machine sewing. I think Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables would be very pleased with the puffed sleeves! Thank you for joining me here on costube for my plus sized sewing and costuming adventures!
