This tight body hugging dress has a really deep V-neckline that continues as a placket and a slit on the hem in the back. (Pattern also includes an alternative for a more modest neckline.) The dress is worked top down, in one piece and without any seams. Pattern includes several shaping alternatives: for bust, waist and swayback, so you need to try on the dress frequently along the way and adjust it to fit your own body.
