Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Another version of the built-by-wendy pattern. Made in a real rush, and I’m not sure I even like it now! Seems like an odd mix of a Mod dress and something the Queen migt wear! I needed something smart, so chose the dupion fabric, but I’m not convinced it works with the pattern. The sleeves came out ridiculously tight again too, they definely need adjusting. Ho hum.
Material Notes
Synthetic silk dupion.

I like the color of the dress, but you’re right, the top of the sleeves look uncomfortable. It might look nice with a nice black belt or sash. I like the sleeve length too.
