Peter Soronen began his career by adapting antique corset patterns into more wearable clothing. Although he is inspired by corsetry from numerous eras, the techniques used to fashion the bodice of this evening gown resemble those of the late nineteenth century. Soronen’s precise construction is highlighted by bright blue topstitching.
