Description

I changed the sleeves so the dress has more of an hourglass shape. Without the sleeves the pattern had more of a halterneck shape which doesnt suit me at all. I chopped the long sleeve down to 13" and pleated it. LOVE the pleats :D I added a belt with side rings so it can be worn different ways, as in nipped at the waist without seeing the belt at the front; makes it look more tailored. And not a zip in sight O_O

Material Notes

Italian cotton check off ebay. Great impulse buy…

    Yes I really love the pleated sleeves too. (Great idea!) And I love the way the neckline drapes on you. Great work!

    It looks beautiful, I really like the pleated sleeves. Is it the same dress in all the photos? the color is so different in them.

    i really like this, i dont like the way burdas done the malissa pattern, but it looks great the way youve done it and the fabric you’ve chosen.
