While I've made countless 18th century gowns for myself and others at this point, I've never had to pattern on myself by myself. Considering the most detailed part of the gown is often the back, that creates a very complex problem! But with a ball looming and a new pair of stays to fit over, I had to come up with a system to work through those issues. And along with a couple days of diligent hand sewing, I was able to pattern, fit, and make an 18th century ball gown in time.
