Taking a Closer Look – the waist

This week we are looking at the waist, the transition from the bodice to the skirt. The look of this area is created with both the skirt/dress construction and the layering of petticoats underneath.

Today, take a look at all of these originals (from Martin’s mercantile) looking at how the different skirt treatments (knife pleats, box pleats, gauging) effect the volume coming off the waistband or bodice.
