Riviera Dress & Corset - PDF Sewing Pattern - Maiden Mary Designs

The Riviera Dress is a classic, feminine, and romantic style that can be worn for formal events or dressed down for daily wear. 

This dress is designed with a fitted bodice down to the hips where it transitions to a whimsical gathered skirt. The pattern includes two unique views for the bustier top, a feminine ruched bust and a classic bustier. The gathered skirt is flowy and voluminous allowing for lots of movement. 

The corset top features the same bodice as the dress and is a classic lace up back with grommets. 

The Riviera pattern offers 6 views seen in the pictures above: ruched bust, bustier, short or long skirt, and two corset styles. 

Zip file includes: Instructions, Print at Home (A4), Large Format (A0) and Projector files

Difficulty level: Sewing techniques are confident-beginner friendly. Fitting and adjustments are intermediate as it is a fitted bodice with woven fabric. See the full process of sewing the dress here in the step by step video tutorial.

The pattern is designed for a 5'10" (178cm) height and an A cup. Included are step by step instructions for height modifications and a full bust adjustment.
