The skirt will be great fun! The bustier will take some time and lots of patience to fit to your figure, but so worth it to get done. If you wanted tips: I'd use a cheaper material to assemble the top, adjust it until it feels right and take those pattern pieces as your template for the expensive fabric. The final version will also need some tweaks (different fabrics behave differently) but you've done the main work and will hopefully not want to tear your hair out!

@valhalla No special event, I'm just a super extra person and want poofy dresses for absolutely no reason :) And yanno, for learning purposes.
