This dress was made from the new Simplicity retro pattern. At the store the fabric just screamed: 'buy me, buy me!', so I had to buy it. And isn't it gorgeous? There's only this dress which guarantees me I won't see any other woman in this, so I have really something unique. And that's exactly my style! Burdastyle!
The pattern is easy to understand and use. It took me about six hours to make this dress.

I like it. It's flattering especially at the waist. You did a nice job on it!
Wow- this dress has a perfect fit! You've got a good eye for patterns!
I want one! Where did you get that fabric??
I love it! Like you, I'd make this with the A-line skirt rather than the straight. The print is chock full of awesomeness. Seconding Mirela...where'd you get the fabric?!
Thank you!
Well, if you ever go to Amsterdam, I got it there from the Albert Cuyp market. It was at a stall with only quilt fabrics so normally I wouldn't even consider looking there, but somehow this fabric grabbed my eye! And you can see why ;) I get a lot of comments on the street from people who like it.
Great, I love it! The pattern is great!
For you who like the fabric, try this link and scroll down. I don't know if they will ship outside NL.
so why doesn't "this link" appear underlined or something? Once again, the link is

klick on "katoen" (=cotton). The site is in Dutch, sorry.
@ Lilo, what a good find! Never thought it would be sold on the internet as well. I just hope nobody in my near environment will notice that, so I'll still be the only one with such fabric ;)
