Two layers of muslin created an interlining to add body and structure to the blazer dress bodice. Muslin was used in place of canvas for a softer finish.
Interlinings were basted onto the main wool by hand.
Bust seams, facing and sleeves were all sewn entirely by hand with a small backstitch.
Shoulder pads and shoulder rolls were set in by hand.
Break-line was defined with a large basting stitch. It was later removed.
Pad stitching was used on the under collar to encourage it to roll under and sit more smoothly.
Pad stitching resulted in a much cleaner finish.
Waistline of blazer dress was accentuated with an internal Basque construction. Boning along the waist adds structure.
