Duchess Petticoat continued . . .

Finally, I hand stitched the front of the bra top down. (The back portion will be stitched down after I finish the placket.)


I hand stitched grosgrain ribbon to the back side to form the boning casing. The ribbon was stitched close to the top of the bra top to allow the boning to go the full length of the bodice.


I hand stitched the seam allowances down. This created a flatter, smoother surface for the boning to lay against. I did not want the steel boning to fray the cotton tulle.
