Introducing the stunning GS Blooming Bustier Dress sewing pattern! This gorgeous strapless dress is perfect for those special occasions when you want to look your best. The dress is fitted through the bodice, accentuating your curves and creating a stunning silhouette before flaring out in a beautiful A-line shape to just above the knee. Instructions are included for adding sew-in boning (rigilene) to add structure and support.
The bustier-style top adds a touch of glamour, while the A-line skirt is playful and feminine. The dress is perfect for weddings, proms, or any other formal event. It is also incredibly hackable—crop it at the waist or high hip to style it as a top or use it as a foundation to mount a different silhouette on top.
