Summary
The bodice is a sleeveless silhouette that uses a slashing technique where the original darts were cut and moved to create both shaping, and subtle design detail. This technique adds controlled fullness while maintaining structure. The sleeveless silhouette keeps the look clean and modern, while ruffles along the hem add softness and movement. A small muslin flower at the shoulder serves as a delicate, handcrafted focal point that balances the garment. This style will complement someone who appreciates romantic details paired with contemporary construction.
