Video: The Aurora Bodice
Hello, lovely!
Let's sew the Aurora Bodice together! In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to sew an Aurora Top with peplum and corseted overlay, and the skills in the video will translate to all versions of the pattern.
You'll learn how to:
Fully line your Aurora Bodice
Set in a lapped zipper
Create a self-lined peplum
Add an adorable puff sleeve with sleeve band
Sew the corset overlay with spiral steel boning and button loop trim for the lacings
Hope you love this video & find it helpful! Don't forget to download this pattern and instructions in the separate Aurora Bodice post.
xoxo,
Gertie

Question: What if we just want to make an Auaroa dress without the overlay? I want to wear it over an existing/Separate top. Can it be done?
Question: can I use these puff sleeves on the night and day dress?
This dress has been on my dream dress list. Thank you so much
Can someone tell what pattern Gertie is wearing in video, it's so lovely x
The purple dress is the Bryant gown, available on the Charm website
Thank you for this beautiful pattern and video 💕
Love this pattern!! thank you
Does anyone know which pattern Gertie is wearing?
She is wearing the Bryant gown in the video.
The green and black version reminds me of the musical wicked which I love. Would make a great Halloween costume
Wow gorgeous xxx
*le gasp*
I am love if Kristin’s hand movement directions. And the background music is splendid.
I was just thinking the same, her hands move so gracefully, it has a mesmerizing effect! Reminds me of flight attendants doing the safety demonstration before the flight. :D
Thank you, Kristin, for stepping in to sew on the video!
I have so many holiday theme plans now. This will be perfect for making some of my more obnoxious patterns slightly less so :)
Ooh, over an hour long! Love long videos.
Ok perfect! Thanks Gertie!
Do you put tape on BOTH ends of each boning? Or just the top of each boning?
You put tape on the cut ends. My bones were already finished on one end, so we just had to finish the cut end. :)
omg it's like you're reading my mind. This is exactly what I needed to complete a dance costume! I love it and cant wait to make it.
I love it very cottagecore vibe.
OMG I LOVE IT!!!
