Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A dress with princess seams, pleats on the hem and narrow straps. I used a pattern as a base for the bodice (Burda 12/2006, modified quite a bit) and the hem is basically just a square piece of fabric.
The patterns for the bolero are my own.

Thank you all for the nice comments. :)
I made the bolero just by using a basic puffy sleeved top pattern, shortened it, cut the front in half and reshaped it. But i will concider uploading the pattern some day.
