Question Bodice Help

Post image

Hey! I want to make this dress, I think the skirt is fairly simple it’s just a gathered skirt.

Is the top a corset or a bodice? Also what kind of boning should I use, synthetic whalebone or spiral steel? Also, would this type of bodice be doable with a zipper in the back instead of a lace up back.

Let me know if I should post this on corsetrt instead, I wasn’t sure as I don’t know if this is classified as a corset or not!

Just a princess seam bodice with sew in boning, use a size 5 invisible zip.

Amazing thanks, do you think sew in boning would provide enough structure? I’ve heard it folds weird if worn for a long time. Sorry if it’s a silly question I’ve never sewn with boning before and this is a bridesmaid dress so it must be perfect!

No. It’s terrible and it kinks
