Thinking about the feedback I got on my reversible tops at the market, I decided I needed to rework my sizing because they didn't fit a broad enough spectrum of body types. I'm working on that at the moment. Something else I've been working on is using the bodices to create a more tunic-style top. This is my first finished version. I wanted it to have a slightly flapper-ish feel to it with the drop waist. Like the smaller bodices, it is fully reversible, but this time I've used cotton heading tape which threads through loops sewn into the side seams of the tunic to allow the piece to be fitted to individual bodies. The wide tape seems to be more flattering in the way it sits on the body as opposed to the elastic which can dig in to the torso.
This is a size small. Next...larger sizes.
Oh, and I've got some good news to share. I had an interview for NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) and was successfull! NEIS is a government funded program which helps small businesses get started. You take part in a 10 week small business course and also receive some financial assistance for 12 months to help you be able to work full-time in your business. I start the course next Tuesday (the day after my Birthday). I reckon it's a pretty good may to start my 30th year:)
