Summary
This dress design features six pleated clusters on the bodice waist, created through the application of the Slashing technique. The process involves redistributing the original waist dart intake of the basic bodice into pleated clusters along the waistline. The transferred intake is evenly divided among the six clusters to achieve a balanced and structured effect. This clustered design complements the bell sleeves and flared skirt, improving the overall harmony and visual appeal of the garment.
