The Astrid Gown is a 3/4 length structured gown featuring a boned foundation dress, a custom cage underskirt, a gathered taffeta overskirt with bubble hem, and a dramatic sculptural fan detail at the front. It is a study in how a complex sculptural silhouette is built from the inside out, starting with the structural foundation and working outward through every layer until the final form emerges.

This is not just a pattern. It is a guided learning project.
