The Lazy Seamstress

The Countess Bodice sounds awfully fancy and it can be. Dressed up or dressed down, it really is the most versatile, practical bodice you can buy.

The idea for this bodice started way back in 2001 while I was still travelling with a company called The Pirate's Treasure selling swords at Renaissance Festivals. I wore bodices a LOT, and of course made my own. I usually wore the Goddess Bodice, because it was so darned comfy for those very long faire days. One problem, it laces in the back. The more we travelled, the harder it was to find someone to lace me in properly.
