Description
Pattern Burdastyle 09/2010 No. 122
It was an experiment dress to see how it looks and I sewn it with overlockmaschine.
I try light wool fabric and it is to light and not much elastic, so I have to sewn a zip on the side.
It is not perfect but works. I dont like the pattern sleeves so I try the imitation leather. The leather is very flexible & soft. I like it much.
Next time I take more heavy fartic for this dress.
I like the color and the mix of fabric.

Hi Rachel! Tank you.
I take my dress to Dryclenaner, because the fabric is also a fine wool.
Would you try to wash your fabricrest by hand, so you can see how it look after the contact with water. Sorry, I havend any better Information for you.
Best Regals, Anita
