No matter how long you've been sewing and making historical ensembles, one of the biggest challenges that presents itself with each project is getting the silhouette "correct." That look you create that identifies your costume as being from a specific fashion era and is recognizable as such.
The key is to work with your specific body type, with its assets and flaws, to get the right silhouette. In this episode Jennifer expands on this idea and gives examples that will have you re-think how you approach making undergarments.
