Burdastyle Open Back Dress

Deadlines are very motivational for me because I tend to follow the motto: "Why do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow?" Probably not the best mantra, but it works from time to time. 

Refresher: Burdastyle open back dress

I altered the bodice pattern quite a bit because I saw many others had issues with gaping at the sides. However...I still ran into that issue with certain movements. Thank goodness for double-sided garment tape! I also decided to scrap the sleeves and use sew-in bra pads instead of boning because I couldn't be bothered to learn this late in the game. Maybe next time I make a dress, I'll do so in a timely manner. Doubtful.
