On days, when I wore a thick sweater inside, I would sweat
As you know, we dont like to report on a cult item or trend that is having a flash-in-the-pan, most-wanted moment without taking into account the longevity of the piece
Make waves with this costume set that has a stretchy iridescent knit bustier with mermaid scale print, structured boning on the front, a wired underbust, seashell-shaped bust cups, sequin trim, elastic sequin shoulder straps, back hook closures, and a matching mermaids tail with an elastic waistband, padded scales, ruffled glitter mesh trim, sequin trim, and sheer glitter dotted fins
The back panel is worked from the top down directly onto the front panel straps
The lace on the edge of the ruffles should be sewed on by hand, but it may be stitched flat on the edge with the machine. (School Sewing Based On Home Problems, 1916) If limited in time or working on very inexpensive material, instead of hemming the lace by hand on the right side, it may be stitched by machine [] It is better to use this method only in skirts where the finish is less likely to show from the right side than in waists. (Clothing For Women: Selection, Design, Construction, 1916) I also trimmed the ruffle with cotton Valenciennes lace inserts and pintucks because lace inserts and pintucks were often used together on Edwardian lingerie dresses
