The technique
The bodice is moulded over a hand-shaped corset, then a wired shelf is cantilevered from the waist seam. The tulle underneath carries no weight at all — the line is entirely structural.
Worked in
- Duchesse satin
- Ivory coutil
- Twelve layers of silk tulle
Moulded bustier over an engineered hip. Tulle beneath, air between.
