CLASSIC EMPIRE PATTERNMAKING & SEWING TUTORIAL | EMPIRE BODICE | EMPIRE WAIST | LA MODÉLISTE

Hello everyone, welcome back to my youtube channel La Modeliste. Today, I'm thrilled to show you how to create the Classic Empire waist or bodice. This style, also known as the Empire silhouette, is all about a fitted bodice that ends just below the bust, giving a high-waisted appearance.
You might recognize this elegant style from the costumes in the popular series Bridgerton, where it was frequently featured. Now, I'll guide you through the pattern making process, so you can bring this stunning style to life.
In this tutorial, we'll cover everything you need to know about pattern making for the Classic Empire waist. From understanding the pattern and sewing the garment, I'll take you step by step through the process.
So, let's jump right in!
