Retro dress

Hello I am trying to find a sewing pattern that has the same type of style for the chest area of this dress or just the name of the style so that I have something to go on. I’m not too worried about the skirt just the chest.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

A company that makes them, Lindy Bop, calls them their "Ophelia" style dress and they have a similar one that's called "Sloane". It's a vintage style from the 50s - "Rockabilly swing".

The description of the bodice they use in various places include:

  • Sweetheart neckline with ruched satin inset
  • a sweetheart neckline with turquoise ruched bust panel.
  • sweetheart neckline with contrasting crossover ruched bust panel

Google search returns a fair number of similar dresses when you search for "Rockabilly dress"... including the image that you posted, which is on a site here where they describe it as "ACEVOG Women’s 1950s V Neck Vintage Cut Out Retro Party Cocktail Swing Dresses"

Other than that, I'm not sure there's a specific name for the style.
