I wanted a bustier dress
1. because I wanted to see if it suits me (the ones I found in shops never fit)
2. because I wanted to know if I could sew it
So here is my dress – with a pocket!
I think it worked well (with some minor adjustments)
The pattern (top part) is from an old burda magazine I got on ebay.
I knew about that because of anek’s bustier top. (love her choice of colours!)
There is also a similar pattern here:

Hi,
I found it in the june 1990 burda magazine. I got mine on ebay, maybe you’re lucky and can find it there. There was also a pattern that looked the same to me on the burda website, but since they’ve changed it, I couldn’t find it any more. Good luck with your alevels!
