Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This baby-doll style dress was made for my daughter, Gwendolyn. I actually made two of these with the first one being to big so I gave it away to a friend. Believe it or not I had enough fabric to do another dress, and I got this one right. This fabric was one with different border prints on each selvedge edge, it is brown with a beautiful design all over in fall colors. I played with the fabric a bit to get the designs lined up around the hem and the bodice. The pattern I used was a Butterick from the 60’s, #6175. The pattern had sleeves that my daughter did not want so I eliminated them. It zips in the back. Gwendolyn added her own belt.
Material Notes
Silky, flowing brown print fabric. Zipper, brown thread.

Fantastic dress! I’ve been toying with the idea of making a dress out of fabric similar to this, and your dress has just convinced me to do so.

Lovely dress. The model and the colours suit your daughter perfectly. It was a very good choice to make it for her.

It’s just beautiful! The pattern-matching on the back bodice is very pretty too!

Great dress! I think my mother made this dress back when the pattern was new, in all yellow, with the sleeves! Haha!

I love that fabric! Really nice dress. I can see why your daughter didn’t want those sleeves on it though :)
