This women’s beaded top jersey dress combines a decorative bra-style bustier with a full skirt made from heavyweight jersey fabric.
The upper section features beaded details and built-in foam padding without underwire. The lower section uses a heavier jersey knit fabric, creating a contrast between the fitted bustier and the skirt.
Fabric and Fit
The upper bustier includes foam padding to provide shape and support without using underwire. The lower skirt is made from heavyweight jersey fabric, which gives the garment more body and weight.
The fit of the bustier and the weight of the jersey skirt need to be considered together when developing the overall silhouette.
Garment Construction
The bustier and jersey skirt have different construction requirements.
The upper section needs to accommodate the foam padding while maintaining the intended bust shape. The beaded details also need to be handled carefully during garment assembly.
The lower section uses heavyweight jersey fabric. Its weight and stretch properties need to be considered when joining it to the bustier.
Pattern Making and Sample Development
Pattern development needs to consider the shape of the bustier, the position of the foam padding and the fit of the upper section.
The lower skirt requires a separate pattern approach based on the weight and stretch of the jersey fabric.
During sample development, particular attention should be given to the connection between the bustier and skirt. Their proportions, fit and overall balance need to be checked together.
Finishing and Quality Control
The beaded upper section should be checked for appearance and any loose or damaged decorative details.
The foam padding should sit properly inside the bustier, maintaining a balanced shape without underwire.
The connection between the bustier and heavyweight jersey skirt should also be checked for a neat finish and consistent appearance.
