Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The last 2 photos are what this dress looks like before I transformed it.
I bought these maxis for $9.95 each. The green one is a medium, the coral is small. The green one is expectedly bigger on me. I had to chop a fair bit on the straps where I reconstructed the racerback structure using wide crochet lace from my stock. I’m still thinking whether to chop off a bit form the hem or not.
The coral one is currently in the process of transformation.
Material Notes
jersey maxi dress, crochet lace

I love when you can go green and get creative with stylish clothes! The crocheted backs are really popular right now.

Indeed, crochet or lace details are really everywhere and they seem a bit too expensive sometimes. That’s why I consider the $9.95 maxi and some sewing time worth it.
