Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I was inspired to make this dress from an episode of Glee. Rachel wore a beautiful black and white dress and I couldn’t take my eyes off it! So I did a little digging for a similar pattern, and I found the Retro Butterick B5032, it needed some alterations because the pattern included and overskirt which I had to make part of the actual dress, but it came out exactly the way I wanted it :)

Very cool, I like the fabric combination and your use of 4 straps at each shoulder.

I should also add, I altered the sleeves. Instead of using one peice of fabric I made 4 straps for each shoulder.
