This 1860s Ball Gown Bodice is an original Past Patterns design
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A princess seam construction makes this ball gown bodice easy to fit and sew. Many women were married in their best dress. If their best dress was a ball gown they would probably have worn it to their wedding.

The puff sleeve with bows or the bell sleeve change the bodice from fancy to tailored.

The bodice closes and fastens in the back with lace that is drawn through eyelets. The bodice is boned. The point may be made shorter without changing the overall look.
