Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress is made without pattern, it’s simply smaller rectangles for bodice and bigger ones for the skirt. I sewed a row of ruffles on top of the bodice and also two pairs of loops so I can put detachable straps on it. The back of the bodice has several rows of shirrings to ensure the fit, and the front has four different buttons.
I can always wear the dress as a tube dress, but I prefer wearing it with these brown straps that I already have. Believe me, if you have an active first-grader boy around, a strapless dress is not a wise choice.

Once more, a great dress! And it’s a great picture with you other dresses behind you. I can completely understand you point on strapless dresses. In fact, even without children I’m always afraid they won’t stay up.
