Peasant Bodice part 1...

After making so many things for the children and making fancier clothing for myself and my fella, it's time I make myself some more "normal" clothing.  Still historical, but clothes I plan to wear on normal days and not just for special events.  I really like a peasant bodice pattern I have.  It's from the Francis Grimble book Fashions of the Gilded Age Volume 1.  It comes from Harper's Bazar January 1878.  I plan to wear it over a shirt and I'm using a fairly fine light brown wool.
