Created pattern for Fosshape by tracing capelet on butcher paper. Had difficulty with front flaps but tested fit by placing patter pieces inside (inc. 1/2” seam allowance) and adjusted accordingly. Cut out Fosshape pieces around pattern and pinned together on dress form. Steamed Fosshape using 25% Isopropyl alcohol in distilled water. Used a large soft bruh to help remove wrinkles and poke out corners. For the areas where the Fosshape is not fitted to the form, used a folded up bath towel as a tailor’s ham to apply pressure. Also flipped upside down and opened to steam inside without pressure, helping it harden and seal side seams.Acute Treatment
