Emma Stone appeared on the red carpet 96th Academy Awards like a mermaid emerging from sea foam, wearing a corset with a peplum shaped like a giant seashell and a skirt with a train reminiscent of a huge fish's tail.
The custom-made voluminous dress from Louis Vuitton, crafted from silk jacquard cockle cloth, is adorned with embossed moiré shell pattern.
For making the corset with a straight neckline and voluminous peplum, you can use the pattern:
To achieve the shell-shaped peplum, a little modeling should be done:
· Divide the pattern into a larger number of pieces
· Lengthen the pieces and add extension to the wedges
Then, it is necessary to sew a trial mock-up, put it on a mannequin, and refine the shape of the peplum. To reinforce the peplum and give it shape, use rigilene boning and reinforcing materials. The skirt has a straight silhouette with a small train. For cutting the front part, you can use a bell-skirt pattern, removing the expansion on the side.
For the back part, the pattern should be divided into several pieces to add extension and lengthening in the wedges.
