Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My mom made me this dress for my dance recital that was in May we danced to hand jive from grease so we all needed 50’s dresses i really liked the dress it was fun to wear and easy to dance in our dance was really fast and the dress was fantastic and it is something that i hope to wear again! The red petticoat that is underneath the dress i all ready had but i would say the puffier the better………sorry i only have the one photo my sister took more…. you can see them here on her Flicker

Well the red underneath was a really puffy skirt thing that someone gave me a long time ago But there is a thing on how to make one yourself here: http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/the-50s-petticoat
and then it’s just a red ribbon tied on my waist with a flower pin on it.
