  Excellent dress! The uploader is playing up sometimes (distorts the photo) when you upload porttrait photos. You can either rotate them automatically when you download them from the memory card onto the computer, or simply take landscape photos. Anyway, I totally love this, the back and the front look equally inteersting.

    I used the contour bust pattern as a base for the top :)

    I agree, it looks to me like the upper part is made out of this pattern http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/contour-bust-dress-and-tute , you have to add the middle and for the bottom two rectangular pieces gathered at the waist. :D

    @Blanche, I agree that it looks like the contour bust with the added middle (a bit like the one I did: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/cruise-embarkation-dress ) I love that pattern :) endlessly customizable

    Exactly right! I need to add it to the details. It is such a great pattern!
