The basic bodice is a very useful garment to learn how to construct as it can be developed into any type of garment that focuses on the upper torso. The basic bodice can be constructed with either waist and shoulder darts or waist and bust darts. I started with the waist and bust darts.

| My first attempt didn't go well. the measurements were off and the seams didn't match up. |
 |
| In my second attempt, I ensured all measurements were correct and balance marks carefully placed. This was a lot more successful. The waist wasn't as fitted as I would've hoped but that can be fixed in later developments. |
I think the exercise went well and I learned the importance of precise measurements and what carelessness can do to the fit of a garment.
