Hi,
Did you check out this?
http://www.ninyamikhaila.com/Princesselizabeth.html
this shows the bodice part without the
stomacher/placard pinned on.
The visual helps alot, I know I had a hard time
wrapping my brain around how the gowns went on, as I
kept thinking they laced up the back.
This photo group made it all clear to me.
You know what lightbulb went on for me? She even says so in the essay
-- that's *why* gowns were side-back laced -- not because the bodice
fit better, but so that you could have an unbroken neckline!
