Bennett gowns~Step 3~Bodice

First off let me say I have no photos and I apologize. I start working and I just can't stop to take photos.
But I do have instructions for the gowns...............
Step 3: Bodice
(Note: This is for a bodice without sleeves. I can't do it and you can invent your own pattern for that.)
Follow the instructions for the Bodice Lining, but use your sheer fabric curtain, your old pattern, and omit the part where you fold and hem all the edges. Then put the two together, raw-edged side of lining & wrong side of bodice together. Turn it inside out. Then fold all the edges of the bodice over the lining and sew them, except for the armholes and 1 side of the back slit. Then take some 1/4" wide white ribbon and cut 5 2-3" lengths. Fold that unfinished edge in half so that the raw edge touches the edge of the lining. Fold a ribbon length in half with the edges side by side. Put it on the lining at the top of the lining and then fold over the bodice edge and sew back and forth over where the ribbon is a few times. Then fold the ribbon over that seam to make a buttonhole loop and sew over that a few times. Do this at the bottom, the middle, and between the bottom/middle and middle/top. Then sew a few times over the 4 spots on the edge where there are no loops  to make a apparent continuous seam over that edge and trim all the loose threads. Now all your buttonholes are done.  Now turn the bodice right side out and put the buttonhole edge next to the other edge so that the ribbons go over that edge and it looks like it's buttoned without buttons. Take a fadeout marker and make dots inside the loops where you want the buttons. Then sew the buttons on those marks. You are done- try it on!!!!!!
