Hours to complete: 18-19 hours from draping and fitting the initial pattern to the finished product.
Total cost of materials: (Estimated) $30. I used A LOT of items from my stash, so when I added up the cost I estimated Items based on if I went out and purchased them now.
In addition to submitting it for the challenge, the full-lenght making of is going to be the topic of my next article for Foundations Revealed; as a companion to my last article about making the Teens corset.
