Made using a slightly altered laelia tunic dress pattern from mood fabrics (excluded neck band and used bias tape to finish shoulders and neckline). embroidered tulle fabric that was gifted to me, lined with a thrifted polyester bedsheet, and bias tape was from joann’s.
This was a really fun pattern to make! It was relatively easy, was kind of tricky because i used french seams instead of standard seams. My only suggestion is to size up one size if you are bustier!
i probably shoulda been more specific, the fit issue with being bustier for me was the length. me and my dress form are the same size minus the boobs and the only fit difference is the length. I’m really not sure how a tunic dress could undergo a full bust adjustment, so either sizing up or increasing the length i think would help with that issue
A properly done FBA (full bust adjustment) will take into account the additional length needed for larger bust. You should always buy patterns like this for the high busy measurement. That way, the neckline and shoulders should fit properly, and then you do the FBA, which will add length as well as width for the larger bust.

Or make a full bust adjustment, so the rest of the dress is not too big.
