Burda Style For people who sew

This is a recon of one of those shapeless 80’s (super-modest) jumpers. I used the Alexis waistband and attached the skirt of jumper…took about an hour!

Great idea. I see lots of those jumpers at the goodwill and st. vincent depaul, next time I find one with some great material I’ll turn it into a skirt. Thanks for the inspiration!
