Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I learned the technique for making the single-shell ruffles from the book, ‘The Art of Manipulating Fabric’ by Colette Wolff for some time, it is sort of wonderful textbook of any kind of fabric manipulation.
The blue fabric is double-gauze cotton by Nani IRO. The front of the dress has a single pleat where I sewed a pair of single-shell ruffles. The shape of the dress is kinda loose, I want to be able to layer it with long-sleeves T-shirt and thick leggings for this cold season.
Well, the result looks a bit like little girl’s dress, but then all my dresses look like little girl’s dresses, so that’s okay .

hey cool photo! i didn’t realise it was a jumping shot at first but on full view it looks like you’re levitating, and doing so with ease :-) i really like the sleeves on this one, it has given me an idea for a shirt/collar dress i’ve been working on. I’ll try to post it when i’ve finished. cheers!!

You are such a doll! I love everything about your posts, the simplicity of the pictures, the colours just POP! The outfits, What can I say, if I was that fabulously adorable and beautiful I would want to wear it all! I just love to look at your creations. They look elegantly simple, fun and wonderful :)
