Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Fall’s close enough already that I have no business still sewing for summer, but I wanted to crank out this one last dress for my birthday. This is the same pattern, with a few tweaks (and a different length, obviously) as my Grecian Goddess Dress. It’s comfy and easy to throw on.
I have made a pdf of the pattern (roughly size 36) available on my blog, if you’re interested. I will upload it here eventually, but I want to get it graded into multisize first.
Material Notes
A lightweight woven (batiste-weight, maybe?) that I _think_is a cotton-rayon blend, but I’m not 100% sure. Plus elastic thread for the shirring.
