Hi everyone! Hope you're loving the Landis Bodice. In this month's video, I'll walk you through the ins and outs of creating a structured bodice with a beautiful overlapping shoulder band. Plus, don't miss my embellishment tips, and a how-to on making a skirt match with our lovely basque waist option!

Hi, do you have a high-low skirt pattern that would go with this please? 😻 Thank you. This is a gorgeous dress pattern, thank you for sharing!
Is there any difference between underlining and interfacing (using for example Pellon SF101)? I do a lot of purse sewing and have tons of that on hand and as long as my main fabric wouldn't show the adhesive, interfacing seems like it would be the simpler option to me.
Hi! Could anyone tell me if there's any reason I couldn't add the basque waistline to the Liz dress? Would that work? In my head it looks great!
the lined and lapped technique, FINALLY EXPLAINED!! charm club is full of all the most crucial details!!! Thank you SO much, gonna make 700 copies of this bodice for summer, winter glam, wedding, ttc.
Hello, happy boxing day. In the video you have joined the back shoulder piece to the front at the more angled edge, keeping the straighter piece with the notch to go into the back seam. On the written instructions it says match the notches, which are on the straight edge. For my toile i have sewn one each way to see if I could tell which was correct. Advice? Please?
The as pattern version looks nice at the back when the band is lifted as though there was an arm in there. The other way looks better down. So pro and con either way. I sewed it as pattern. Really can't take it apart now 😝
Gertie mentions that the basque waist could go with the gathered skirt but wasn’t sure how to put that together. I’m just going to clip down the center of the skirt with a stay stitch to get that point in the front. Does that seem like it would work?
I am interested, how did you end up doing it?? :)
I 100% agree with the remarks about spiral steel boning. It's so much more comfortable than anything plastic , and really allows for you to move more naturally without getting poked with creased plastic! it seems so much more intimidating than it is.
We are coming into summer so I am going to try one in a light denim with a short (ish) circle skirt.....If that works out I will try a longer one with the Lamour skirt in a cotton sateen
LOVE this
I’ve done three pairs of shoes in crystals, two in Swarovski, and one in the cheap plastic ones (it was my first attempt at that and it was for a one off costume
This is gorgeous!!! Can we also talk about that adorable tee??
Yes! It's for sale on the Charm site! :)
Ok just finished the video, I found for adding rhinestones if you get some sticky tack (the blue stuff used to put up posters) and put it on the end of a pencil it makes it easier to pick up and place the stones. I lost too many rhinestones trying to use tweezers
Yes! There's also a tool called the Crystal Katana (and cheaper knockoffs on amazon) that perform the same function. I go back and forth on what tools I like best so it's nice to have a variety!
What colour is that purple silk from Silk Baron? I think I need it!!! Thank you, the link didn’t work for me
It's called Vegas--link in the instructions!
How beautiful xxx
Loving the bodice video they’re always so informative especially as me and my mom are slight beginners. And as a side note love the T-shirt and hairstyle too Gertie!!!!!
This is so fantastic!! Thank you Gertie for not only drafting and providing such amaZing patterns for us all but for also taking the time to really break down and teach too!!!
