Description
I loved the Burda version of the Celestina (with the 3/4 sleeves) and so i decided to create my own. It’s a great dress for my winter.
I think i like it, but i’m not sure yet. Maybe i’ll be wearing this to nice outings.. :)
I followed the pattern to exact, except that I used another patterns sleeves & I lengthened the ties as previous members had said they wished they were longer.
The pattern instructions were written very well (yay!)
The last pic shown is of Blair in a Gossip Girl episode, cause i had her dress in the back of my mind while making this.
Material Notes
REALLY not sure. It's tough, but because of the flower pattern it did unravel a bit. A linen mix? No idea really!

Anything with bows and 3/4 sleeves are high up on my wish list ! A cute, versatile dress which looks great against your hair colour and the dark tights. Oh how I wish I could wear cream…
