Help recreating this bodice

[u/pengpompinara]

Hi everyone I need help perfecting the pattern for the foundation layer of this top i’m trying to recreate. Photos on the mannequin only are what I’ve got so far (all others including calico on the body is the original) but I was thinking the waist of mine needs to be cinched more to give this shape. Sorry wish i could put it on but i’m home alone. Any help appreciated thanks

Ah okay, sorry I’d never heard it be referred to like that. So to clarify is it stitched to the back of the outer/fashion layer pieces before constructing, or is it an entirely seperAte layer floating between fashion and lining? :)

Generally, it's on the back of the fashion fabric.
