I made this dress using a pattern from the Burdamode-website. I was a lot of work to line up the swirling stripes of the embroidery, but I kind of did it. The buttons I used are mother-of-pearl buttons passed down to me through the family. They were once used by my grandfather's aunt. I really like continuing what appears to have been her habit of re-using fastenings

It looks lovely. I've downloaded that pattern from Burdamode as well, but I haven't made it up yet. You did a great job matching up those stripes.
Wow-- I'd seen the pattern on the website and didn't think much of it until now. This is great- love the elegant neckline.
That looks fab! Which pattern is it?
It's pattern nr. 127 and you can find it on burdamode.com if you go to the 'downloads'-page. It's on there, with the free downloads (there's only one dress, so you can't miss it) The website is in German, but it has buttons on the top right to select another language. A little warning: as far as I could find, the sewing instructions only come in German. But it's a fairly easy pattern, so I didn't really look at those.
Cute dress! Gonna make it red with heart buttons when I get time for it. I did some burdamode.com patterns, and they are terrific! For free and have a nice fit. My only problem is that the european size 40 is a lot larger than the 40 here in Brazil. So I wasted a lot of fabric until I adapted well the size. They could sell all of the patterns in .pdf format! They don't deliver to Latin America.
I have also made this dress, but I made it in purple. Yours looks great, it's funny how much fabric choices can do since our dresses look completey different.
Such a pretty dress. Well done.
