Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I think I’ve wanted too many things when I started sewing this colourful cotton fabric; pipings, collar, princess seam, ruffles. It ended looking like a toddler dress, and when I put it on, it looked so costumey. So it went back to the sewing room again.
I just chopped off the old bodice and made a new one. Fortunately I’m on the small side, so the scraps are enough for a whole new bodice. This time, I only played with a little pleats on the button area and use bindings to finish the neckline and armholes.
There. Now I’m happy.

Great dress (and tights!) – it strikes the balance between cute without being cloying very well… and that’s a nice recovery from the first version too too. I made a similar mistake with a dress last year (peterpan collars and puff sleeves aren’t great at my age!), and I couldn’t face going back to it so lurking in the back of a cupboard now. :o(

Looks wonderful! The initial result did look a bit too young but it would be a wonderful set for a hip mom and her little one! Love the pleating that you ended up doing. Your craftsmanship is wonderful. Nice work.
