I'm going to second Bjarne's vote; I like these tabs the best, and think
that the bodice needs tabs.

I'm not sure what I should do here. This bodice http://tinyurl.com/343la7
is sort of a practice bodice. It is made from flocked fake silk taffeta
(barf - but it was the closest fabric I have found to give the right
look.) I found it at the last minute about a week ago at Jo Annes - it
just happened to match the silk taffeta of the skirt almost exactly. I am
in the process of having another embroidered to match the embroidery in
the actual picture. http://tinyurl.com/3bdc27
Annnnnyyyway - the question:
I may have to use the practice bodice if the other doesn't work out or is
not done in time for the presentation.
The other bodice will require a peplum of sorts to which all the leaves
are attached. I did the same here and then experimented with no tabs, all
the tabs in the same pattern, and finally tabs made from "cabbage" -
random pieces of fabric.
Part of me wants to leave it without tabs, because it looks fussy to me.
But many of the bodices had these whacky shaped tabs, and the original
obviously did too......sigh....decisions, decisions.
What is your vote? Thanks for your opinions!
