A huge thank you goes out to Sarah Parr Nucci who has given me a wealth of resources to borrow!
It looks like I'll be using the patterns from Truly Victorian (TV 105) to make the combination underwear, and TV101 to make a petticoat with wire bustle (and optional ruffled overlay). I am looking at a lovely curved spoon busk corset from Corsets and Crinolines (pg. 81).
Once I manage to construct all the undergarments and foundation pieces, then I can get a new set of measurements to begin drafting a pattern for the dress! This will be the first time I ever go through the effort of making a toile first. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but am anxious to get started! I'm glad I went through the effort of making a body block so I can figure out how to make the patterns fit better.
