Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress was made with just 2 meters of 110cm fabric! I did have to muck around alot with it as I didn’t add the seam allowance before I cut it!! I was worried it was going to be far too small so I added hand made loops and buttons to give extra space at the center front. I also added a ruffle to the hem to make it longer. I’m pretty happy with the outcome. I feel like going to the museum in this dress.

Thank you.the pattern was hard to follow but now I’ve worked it out Im sure I’ll use it again. The pattern says to use chiffon but my fabric is a lightweight cotton which worked perfectly.
