This one has a ball taille, and yes, there is a single seam at the front bodice! This is what I had been noticing in garments so it’s nice to have it confirmed.

#minaharker #minamurray #dracula bodice refit. Finally tidy enough and self supporting to put boning in 🙂 By putting a hip gore in I can get a super fit at the waist my next set of stays will have this feature. All will tbh.

Superfluff is a big kitty btw. Same size as my darling Boo but with an even broader face. He had a furball today. I learnt with Boo to just calm kitties rather than try to move them somwhere convenient. Seems to help build trust.
