Shoulder Lace Pieces

Today we worked on the pattern of the shoulder lace pieces, which were easy to pattern by simple measurements, since they are essentially based off a rectangle, with angled ends as they attach to the bodice.

Translating into the enhanced size figure is trickier, though - if we were to use lace of the same width as the original (8.75" wide) then the fit over the bust falls differently, and doesn't come as close to meeting on the sides.

Taking into account the different proportions, it might be helpful to find a slightly wider lace - but if not, we just have to take this into account in terms of where the lines fall.
