    You said you got the pattern from Burda; which pattern was it? I love this dress!

      60’s dress by Alexandra, i had to slightly change the sleeve pattern, and you need to slightly turn the sleeve up when placing it in… apart from that a lovely pattern… wish i could find more of that fabric, very rare find…

    thanks for compliments everyone, the zipper is funny, as im a guy, straight…. lol my friends ask what hobbies i have…. i simply collect zippers.. they always need a new life.. and they certainly dont make them like they did….. so i tend to always use zippers as a finish off piece, rather than a simple attachment device….. most my mates hobbies are boozing and football….
