Description

i tried following the Anda pattern, but it's been so long since i've used a pattern, it was a disaster. I tried my best to follow along, but I cut the fabric wrong, sides didn't match, etc., so I altered it to the best of my ability.

I raised the hem quite a bit, added a zipper to the back middle, and added a 5" white satin trim at the bottom. I actually really love the way it turned out. I also added a belt to give it some shape.

Materials

Black satin, black zipper, self-covered buttons, white satin.

    wishing I had more time to sew!!

    Looks like a skirt and top - I think the original design is a bit sack-like but this looks superb.

    loveisoxygen, i used the anda pattern as the basis, but changed some parts so it would fit my body shape better. i got rid of the casing and eastic, made the neckline into more of a bateau neckline, and just made the body of the dress a basic a-line. it was pretty easy! hope that helps!

    I really like it. At first I thought it's a black blouse and a white skirt. It is very interesting and has charm especially on the first photo where you're smiling so charming (:
