Hello, and welcome to the La Farfalla Bustier! This bustier is really beginner friendly, and truly such a classic style! I suggest using fabric with a little sturdiness, maybe taffetas, cottons, or fabrics that respond well to a fusible interfacing.

As always I HIGHLY suggest making a cotton Muslin mock-up! You want to make sure you don’t need to make any alterations before hopping into your real fabric.

The pattern will have a cutting layout, and a list of fabrics and notions needed. If you like a bust cup, Size it accordingly before stitching it in. Also , boning is not required, but does make a world of difference in the body of the bustier.
