Duct Tape Bodice

I've been reorganizing my collection of Value Village finds, and thought it was
​about time to repurpose this Indian skirt into some fancy doll dresses....

The embroidered designs are bit big in scale for a mid-size doll, so I'm going to make it for my Asa. She always gets 'hand-me-downs' from slightly bigger EID Carina, so I decided she needed a dress with a bodice designed especially to fit her SID body.  The most accurate way to design a pattern, is to wrap the doll's body with plastic wrap and cover it with strips of duct tape. Then draw on the bodice outlines and seams...

Obviously there's little chance the corresponding pieces on opposite sides are not going to be exactly the same, so the next step is to cut up the duct tape bodice, and draw up a paper pattern with identical corresponding pieces.
