And to follow on to a previous post, as promised, here’s some more progress pictures of the circa 1899 jacket. 🙂
First sleeve attached. I had to re-do the cuff to shorten the sleeve length first.
Close-up of sleeve and sleeve head. Compared to many jacket-bodice designs, I opted for a little less structured look.
Sleeve head. Compared to mid-1890s styles, the sleeve heads have relatively little excess on top so they’re pretty restrained compared to earlier styles.
Sleeves attached, time to take a break.
There’s still a lot of work to do but at least the basic structural elements are in place. Stay tuned for more! 🙂
