  Hi – you have inspired me to do the Azalea without the upper skirt as well. I notice that yours is quite narrow in width – did you take it in on the side seams? Great dress, by the way!

  Sorry stacey for not writting back to you sooner. I have not check burda for several days. For inner layer, it really does not require more than 1 and 1/2 yards of fabric. But for both layers, you might need less than 3 and half yards depending on the width and how you cut the fabric. I would also suggest alter the pattern a bit below the waist so that it will fot better(esp. for knit fabric).

  It turned out really well. A very good variation of Azalea.

  No, I did not use zipper for this dress as the fabric is elastic

  hey this is nice :D i was thinking of doing the azalea too… did you use the zipper at all or is the fabric little bit elastic?

  Wow, that gives the Azalea dress a completely other look which is great! Like the version with the belt the most :) Good job!
