Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Aloha!
Retro dress with optional cap sleeves or you can do the halterneck style. Sits just below the knee with a gathered flared skirt. I used a invisible zipper instead of a lapped zipper so it had a smoother side. the bodice is fully lined too.

Thank you for posting this! Now I’m not afraid to try out this pattern. It’s so summery (here, in Northeastern US, it’s still winter :P).
