Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress was made using Simplicity 2047, dated 1957. The bodice is underlined with silk organza and the seams are finished with seam binding, as I don’t have a serger. Underneath the fly front are the button closures. Handy pockets are sewn to the side seams.
It was easy to sew and it’s very comfortable to wear!

It looks lovely :) How did you place the pattern on the fabric so the flowers are on the bottom part only? O_o

Thank you for your comment. :)
I placed the skirt pieces sideways (crossgrain) so that the border would be along the bottom.
