Butterick 4288

Misses beautiful, close-fitting, lined, boned, straight, slim-fitting bridal gown, floor length, has inside belt, bias bow/knot, back zipper/slit, button trim, long sleeves with elastic at the sleeve cap, button/loop closure, and shaped lower edge. The bodice has an off-the-shoulder, sweetheart neckline and back zipper. 29 small, satin buttons are attached along the zipper line to appear as faus button closures. Purchased trim. Optional contrast overbodice and sleeves. The removable, self-lined train is beautifully pleated into a shaped band and attaches to the lowered, shaped back bodice with hooks and loops, so it can be detached. It can be edged in lace. If you omit the train, this lovely dress would be an alluring, slim-fitting dressy dress to wear at prom, party, or pageant. This sewing pattern does not include a veil or headpiece.
