Title: Question
Post by: Manwariel on February 09, 2009, 05:16:02 PM
This is a simple question, so perhaps we can use this thread for any questions that don't really need their own thread?

About how many yards of bias tape does it take to finish all of the edges of a smallish average bodice?

Using your own measurements, add up the 2 sides, the bust, the waist, and add another yard for straps.  So, for a person with a 36" bust and a 28" waisted bodice, it would be about 4 yards.
