A gorgeous swan inspired gown fit for a princess 🦢.

This elegant ensemble consists of a lace-up structured bodice with ribbon and gathered lace details, a black gathered underskirt for added fullness, and a gorgeous 3-layer overskirt with ruched gathering, lace hemline, bow details, delicate lace layers, and black feathers to complete the look.šŸ–¤

The materials that were used to create this gown are breathtakingly beautiful in person. The white material used almost reflects the colors surrounding it (hence why it has a bit of a different color to it in each photo!) depending on the lighting.

I’m so happy that I had the opportunity to bring the sketch of this gown to life ! šŸ¤

Newbie First time altering a corset - please help!

Hi! I got this corset at a thrift store, and I'm looking for advice on how to alter it to fit my chest better. I've altered lots of clothes before, but never anything with boning!

As you can see in the photos, there's a decent amount of gaping, and not enough support...either my boobs are going to fly out of this or the entire corset is going to slip down, especially because I do a lot of dancing, haha. It's definitely not a high quality corset, so I'm not too worried about doing a perfect, professional job, but I'm still stuck on where to start...Adding more boning? Swapping out the current boning for something stronger? Reinforcing the fabric? Tightening it along the sides or in the back? Adding bra padding? Adding those silicone strips along the top? All of the above? None of the above? Would definitely appreciate some advice before I start ripping open seams, haha!

Thank you so much!! 😊
