Description

I loved the Celestina dress since it came on the site, especially the darts-to-insert construction and the fact it has long sleeves on a thin dress. This is my second creation from a Burdastyle pattern and I was really pleasently suprised with the fit. I cut the fabric according to the sizing table and didn't have to make any changes while sewing. I added facings to the waist-inserts to neaten the inside.

Materials

cotton with floral embroidery

Oh my goodness, It is so chic. I love all of your creations. They are all elegant. I can't believer that this dress is actually the Celestina dress. I kept going back and forth, checking the pattern and your dress. I want one! I have a piece of linen with floral embroidery as well but it is not as nice as yours.

having fun with knits and sergers.

That's amazing. I have to admit I was skeptical of the Celestina when I saw the sample on here, because it's really hard to find patterns for long-sleeved dresses that don't either look frumpy or too kiddish, and I kind of wrote this one off as the latter. But yours looks so chic, it's making me seriously rethink my opinion of this pattern!
