Burda Style For people who sew

Description

Cocktail dress made for a wedding using the Maryy pattern with a few alterations.
The chiffon had been sitting in my cupboard so long but I hadn’t found a good project worthy of it. Alterations: back is elasticated, the front has a loop around the gathering and the straps are not crossed over as it is easier to wear with a normal bra. The Chiffon layer is not as gathered as the pattern suggest as I did not want to look like a balloon.
I chose stretch linen to make it more wearable and not have to feel like a prisoner! It also doesn’t have any gathering. This layer is shorter for a more playful side. The chiffon covers everything nicely.

Material Notes

Strecht Linen found in the clearance section, Chiffon from way back when bought at Clegs in Melbourne, Matching elastic for the back.
