Backless dress by Petite Republic

April 3, 2010 By Chie

I just sew a post over at Petite Republic about her new creation – backless dress! I’m so flattered because she mentioned that she fell in love with my garden party dress and wanted to make her own.

I think her dress turned out so lovely. She used Danielle dress pattern from BurdaStyle as a base, and changed up the back panel. Although I separated the back pane in two (top and bottom), she uses one big panel with a hole in the middle.

She also shares her tips for using interface for the bust area, so it’s slightly padded. Obviously, you cannot wear a regular bra with this backless dress. I didn’t think of using the interface, and it is such a great idea! I should do that next time I make this dress.
When I wear this patterned dress myself (I made it in gray satin for myself to wear it to an upcoming wedding! will show it here soon..) I use sticky bra I stole from my sister. I believe they sell it at Victoria’s Secret, but it is a bra made out of silicon or something, and has no straps, and it literally sticks to your boobs. The only problem with it is that it gets really gross when you sweat, since the silicon like material does not observe sweat.

Anyway, check out her blog and all creations! She has occasional giveaway at her blog as well.

シャツの上に重ねてベスト風に、カーディガンのインナーに、
冬ならタートルネックニットに重ねても素敵なコーディネートが楽しめます。
合わせ方次第で、全く違う表情に変わるのが魅力です。

A stunning bustier featuring a bold red base with delicate gold maple leaf patterns.
This one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from upcycled obi fabric, adding a unique touch of Japanese tradition.

The soft, curved neckline creates a feminine, elegant silhouette.

Perfect for parties and special events, it’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
It’s also a great way to subtly showcase Japanese culture during your travels abroad 🇯🇵✨

This piece makes a statement on its own, but you can also layer it for different vibes:
— Over a shirt for a vest-style look
— As an inner piece under a cardigan
— Or layered over a turtleneck sweater in winter for a chic seasonal outfit.

✔️ Note: Not washable, so it’s especially suited for autumn and winter 🍂
✔️ The back features a lace-up design with ribbon details—gorgeous from every angle 🎀

Dress it up for a party or dress it down with jeans for an effortlessly stylish look.
Enjoy styling this unique piece your own way 💫
