Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A dress that needed to be made in a day, from what I had in my stash. Daughter no 1 had a dinner date, and nothing suitable to wear, so I offered to help out! I had some black silk linen and some grey satin that worked perfectly together. The belt is a combination of 2 widths of grossgrain ribbon and some metallic lace. For more info see the blog
Material Notes
Black silk linen and crepe backed satin.

Oh, very pretty! Both daughter and dress, of course :) I like the belt a lot, too! Great idea.

Thanks, it’s great to use up some of my piles of goodies. :)

Wow! Well done you, looks great! It’s so handy if you’ve got a built up stash of fabrics and trimmings, I’ve got some I’ve had for years just ‘waiting for the right project’.

Definitely handy! Although I try to tell myself no more buying until I have used some up, I never really seem to stick to that rule… just as well hu? ;) And I am a complete sucker for ribbons and lace…

ha ha, that was one of my half hearted new year’s resolutions which I broke already by buying a couple of metres of a beautiful fabric today. I swore (though maybe with my fingers crossed) that I’d use up the stash of fabric I’d built up for specific projects before buying any more.
