Burda Style For people who sew
Description
my serger was jealous of my kenny… so she made me make this dress.
the belt section is actually attached; this is all one crazy legged connected concoction that closes with the distressed leather bits. completely made up out of my brain (though ellie would like you to believe she did all the work.)
you can read more about the dress, and the sibling rivalry between my serger and machine over at the sew weekly oona does it!: hurry down doomsday the machines are taking over

Gasp! Oona, that looks awesome. The first shot is beautiful, when I saw it I thought to myself " Is Oona doing Couture now". Love it
uuuu, how about that for a Oona Does It Challenge? I watch too much project runway, LOL.

Looks like you were inspired by nature, I like the look of bunched leaves! A little bit like an Amazone! :-) Looks comfy too, . . .
