Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Made this dress for a wedding I attended this past weekend. I had a beautiful silk Chinese brocade in my fabric stash, and finally found the perfect pattern for it. Used the Maya variation of Danielle, but kept the slightly tapered Danielle skirt…instead of the a-line Maya skirt.

One thing I noticed ( coz sometimes I make wrong fabric choices) is that the fabric either “makes” or “breakes” the dress. This is so gorgeous!. I totally like your fabric choice. The dress looks great on you!
