last week i learned how to make bustiers. its probably one of the garments i enjoy making the most. there are so many options and different directions you can go. in class we were asked to make a bustier + skirt combo. i made it out of a slightly shimmery light pink fabric and the skirt is sort of a patchwork panel of pinks and silver. very girly, i know. i took it a step further by adding chains, sequins, and pearls on the front of the bustier (inspiration taken from the miu miu tights).

ps. sorry the skirt is so wrinkled. :P

    I think you did a great job. I'm not really a sparkle and sequin person but I dig this.
