Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I think it might have turned out a little bit too clown-like for my liking…don’t understand why my frills are so much more pronounced than the ones of the original! It has a little camisole thing underneath but i abandoned that before finishing it because it was turning out much too fussy for under such sheer material. Luckily i had a sleeveless top in just this colour of yellow (what are the chances??!!) so i’ll just wear that under it.
It would probably be a lot nicer in a pale pink or grey, but i’m afraid those colours just don’t speak to me when i’m standing in the fabric shop…plus this yellow was on sale – and i do love a bargain!
I’ll probably wear it with something very plain to try and tone it down a little, although there’s not much of hope of that – there’s a hint of the victorian neck ruff about it….but i think i’m ok with that

The construction teamed with fabric is unique & what a great fit. I was reading how women TV news reporters are always looking for above waist fashion accents- scarves, etc. This would be ideal. It’s spring & it works for you!

perhaps if you removed the bottom ruffle it may look less “clown like”
You have have nice square shoulders so the ruffles sit higher than on the model. I have the same issue with things around my neck. It just makes me look stumpy,
The sewing looks great though.
