Period corset dress with layered skirt sewing pattern for women — Dress 88

Dress 88 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: period corset dress with layered skirt.
The dress has a fitted bodice with a corset-style closure at the front, long sleeves that flare at the cuff, and a square neckline with a lace ruffle. The skirt is full, built in layers of plain fabric combined with a lace border, and reaches the floor.
Because of the volume of the skirt, work the main body in satin or taffeta and use lace for the borders, fabrics that hold the shape and sheen of a period dress. Build the skirt from several layered pieces to get the volume without needing a hoop.
Recommended fabrics: Satin, Lace and Taffeta.
