Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The dress is made from Silk/cotton blend fabric with cotton lining. It was a lot of fun to make it – unfortunately our San Francisco weather doesn’t let you wear summer dresses very often.

The fit is just perfect. I love this pattern too, and you did a great job with it. Did you lengthen the waist of the body ? The waist sits a lot higher on the dress I made with this pattern.

I know what you mean about the weather. I lived in Novato for 10 years. When we would go out on the bay in July, we would need to wear coats and hats! I love the bay area. This dress is so pretty. Very feminine. Great job. :-)

Love it! So beautiful! And good choice on the fabric too. Too bad SF weather doesn’t allow us to wear dresses like that all the time. Make sure you have a cute cardi or jacket to go with it. :)
