Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This peplum dress is a combination of burdastyle’s Alexander Blouse and a vintage skirt pattern I have. I added a red bias at the waist and used big red buttons. The fabric is from Anna Maria Horner’s cotton voile collection and is
extremely comfortable to wear. My favourite part of the dress is the front bodice with the pleats and red buttons. More info on my blog http://sewconvert.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/a-sunny-day-dress/
Material Notes
Cotton voile fabric, lining fabric for the skirt, wide bias, 5 buttons, invisible zipper and snap closure.

oh my gosh, You look like a doll in this dress. Love it so much. Reminds me of the 19th century garments, the lines, the jacket like top—- but modernized of course. Really beautiful.
