Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Yesterday was the first day with sun shine since week full of rain. It was really warm and windless… Therefore I used the time and made finally the photos of this summer dress.
The fabric is cotton-silk liberty and the lining is Venezia.
It is done with a grosgrain ribbon waiststay principle of the 50s.
The petticoat is made separately and is not attracted inventory of the dress. I did the hem with elastic lace by hand, la haute couture.
Material Notes
Liberty Cotton, Venezia, lace

Thank you very much!:-)
my sewing master thinks the skirt should be made according to time shorter. We live in 2011 and not 1950 … What do you think?

I have to be honest and say I’m a fan of tea-length… having the skirt (and especially on such a dress) at least below the knee. It makes the dress look more sophisticated, and not girlish… I say you keep the length!

sag bescheid,wenn du mich nciht verstehst.
dass man ein Waist stay macht,wusste ich aus original pattern der 50-er.aber ich wußte nicht WIE man das macht.bis ich endlich das gesehen habe:
http://sewaholic.net/sewing-a-waist-stay-in-a-full-skirted-dress/
aber vorsicht! nicht alle methodiken, die sie beschreibt sind technisch richtig!
und vielen dank für dein kommentar:-)!
P.S. Waist stay gehörte nicht zum schnittmuster,aber es ist praktisch, damit der verdeckte reißverschluss nicht auseinander gezogen wird.

Danke schön:-)
ich wusste früher nciht,wie man genau dieses talienband macht,aber dann in einem blog sah ich die anleitung.wichtig,dass er etwas schmaler ist, als das kleid.etwa so,dass der reißverschluss nicht auseinandergezogen wird(er ist bei mir seitlich..).es fixiert prima die talie und das kleid sitzt dann an der talie fest.wichtig ist auch dann man 2-3 cm vor dem ande aufhört mit dem annähen des bandes-das wars schon:-) ich kanns nur empfehlen!in den 50-er hat man das serienmässig gemacht..

Exceptional. I wonder how it would look without the petticoat?

I am shaking my head because I can’t believe how pretty you are, wearing this dress. I would say this is the best dress ever you made – if I didn’t know it better. ;-)

Wahnsinn! Wie direkt aus den Fünfzigern entsprungen! Dieses Taillenband mit der Schnalle ist ja irre! Gab es das damals tatsächlich?

ja:-) früher wusste ich nicht so genau,wie das gemeint ist, aber dann gabs in blogs anleitungen zu Waistband. er fixiert position der talie und das kleid verrutsch nicht und ist locker. das ist so ein änliches prinzip wie bei korsetts.
danke:-) danke fürs kompliment! ich gebe mir so viel mühe,dem zeitgeist nah zu kommen..man bewegt sich sogar ganz anders:-)
