First fitting done in a stiff muslin with no added bow structure

Half of the bow interior with Lauren for scale

Internal support structure for the bow. This boned panel of stiff stuff is mirrored on the back and sits between the shell and lining of the dress with the center of the bow stitched to it through the shell.

Second fitting. The bow itself is structured with a layer of mull and four bones in each half, but the central internal structure is not installed yet so the center pulls away from her body.

Center back zipper changed to side zipper in the final version for bow stability.
