Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My aunt bought a dress like this and paid for it 95€. My first thougt was: I’ll get it les expesiv than that! So here it is.
The dress has a jersy-top with 3/4-sleves and a round neckline. The skirtpart is just an A-line skirt with two darts in the back, to fit the bodyshape. And the belt is out of grey silk with covered buttons. The dress is not lined.
Sorry for the fotos, unfortunately my doll won’t fit in the dress (because it is not as soft as I am ;O) )…

Thank you!
Yes the skirt and top are sewn together at the waist, wich is covered by the belt.

I agree. So pretty, and i like the belt with covered buttons. Are they fake? I mean, have you got a zipper in the back to wear your dress, or have to open the belt and (if I am not wrong) a side zipper in the skirt?

Thank you for your nice comment ;O)
One has to open the belt by the buttons and there is a side zipper to open the skirt. I only used a short zipper, because the jersy-top is flexible enough to get through.

What a great colour combination :) It’s really, really pretty!
