I had planned on making this Leanne Marshall pattern, and came across a really beautiful sequined vest I thrifted to use as the bodice, but all plans went out the window when I found an even better bodice option

The high-low is another versatile silhouette

A classic V-neckline, open back, and sweeping train give this simple dress some major drama that everyone will love

It features a gathered bust, framed by lace cap sleeves and the bodice is fitted with side boning for a structured fit and turns to reveal a lace up back
