I made this dress at the end of last summer, out of a pattern from Burda magazine, october 2008.
The material is quite thick, so it was a bit difficult to sew, but I like the way it turned out.
I love the piece in the front-middle :)
And the lining is bright orange, quite funny!
Oh and I look pretty stupid on the picture, eeehm, that’s my bf fault… But the dress looks good ^^
Boiled wool, polyester linen, Zipper.

That’s a great color on you. You don’t look stupid in the picture. Are you going to retry it in a lighter weight fabric?
