Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Vintage Dress Pattern Simplicity 4984 Size 12 Bust 32 from 1960, for a 50’s suare i had, in the end, i lost weight during the make, and even with a refit 2 weeks before, it still hung a size loose, (not complaining though!!!) as a result, i made a square back halfway through
Has huge darts all the way along the top of the skirt, and a separate cummerbund, i didn’t bother with boning in it.
Overall very happy – apologies for the random photos!
Material Notes
red almost-cord-like material, red satin, eyes and hooks for cummerbund,

So retro, so elegant! And red was a great choice (but I’m suspicious about this colour ;) ). Fabulous. Totally chic!
