How to Fit a Victorian Bodice the Easy Way!

Learn how to achieve a perfectly fit Victorian bodice--the easy way! In this video, I'll reveal the secrets to getting that pesky Victorian bodice to fit.

It wasn't until someone mentioned that these bodices are difficult to fit because they're basically the same shape as your corset with ease that it really clicked! So in this video, we'll use my tried-and-true corset fitting stages to tackle the bodice above! I'm so excited--after three different failed patterns--to have a Victorian bodice block that fits!
