Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The first garment I made with my new sewing machine (which I got as a present for christmas 2009)!
It is Burda 508C, made from dark blue dupioni silk, and is very comfortable, too, which makes it an ideal party dress – perfect for eating and dancing! :)
Material Notes
dark blue dupioni silk

Adorable! Can you post a link to the pattern? I did a search but couldn’t find it.

It is from the German burda site: http://www.burdastyle.de/burda-style/damen/kleid-mit-puffaermeln-cocktailkleider_pid_209_2928.html
Unfortunately, the instructions are only in German, but with quite a lot of pictures, and the pattern is easy, so maybe you don’t need to know any German for that!

Very cute! I especially like the color, it looks great against your skintone and your hair. Good choice! :)
