Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve made this black, red and white mod dress for my sister. The fabric is cotton sateen with a little bit of stretch – perfect for this kind of fitted dress. The fabric has a little bit of sheen which gives the dress an elegant touch, I think. The dress is based on a New Look pattern no 6968. (She hasn’t tried the dress yet – I keep my fingers crossed hoping it’ll fit.)

This is a kicked-up, sophisticated version of the fun pieces you usually do, but I love that it maintains your touches and your over-all style. I hope your sister loves it as much as I do.
