Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this dress based on a dress she bought from me last year. Fully lined, invisible zipper. Gorgeous creamy orange color (I know it looks yellow in the photos). The second pic is the original dress.

I love this dress! I feel like it’s the type of dress you walk on the beach wearing while drinking a strawberry smoothie and your dog’s playing with your significant other in the sand .. or something. Haha :)

It depends on how full you want the skirt. With this one I cut two panels the width of the fabric (44") I cut one panel in half, sewed the 2 pieces to either side of the other panel and had a long rectangle about 86" or so. After that you just gather it up and sew it on. There are some tutorials on this site relating to gathering that can probably explain better than I can.

Hi, I drafted it myself. It’s really simple. The bodice is basically princess seamed and the skirt is a long gathered rectangle. Hope that helps.
