Burda Style For people who sew
Description
With spring just around the corner and the blossoms starting to bloom it’s high time to plan my spring wardrobe essentials. It was an absolutely beautiful day here in Northern Italy: with almost 16 degrees I was able to wear my first spring outfit. The base is a flirty multicolored A-line skirt made from 100% silk. This extraordinary vintage Lancetti couture fashion fabric was produced by Taroni , one of the oldest silkweaving mills in Como, a company founded in 1880 and famous throughout the world as synonymous of luxury, elegance and quality of its fabrics.

Oh my god, this is the most gorgeous fabric I have ever seen. Your skirt is really striking, and the simplicity of its lines make the fabric shine. I’m in love.
