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.
