Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I have been making this dress since I cut it out last October, but it really hasn’t taken that long to make! I went to Tasmania for over a month, then exams, then room renovations etc etc.. Procrastinated as much as I love sewing! Plus, it’s way too hot in my room during summer to sew sometimes.
The dress went quite smoothly, it required a lot of basting and I broke 2 zippers which were sewn on (Oh.. fun!). I must say, I’m glad to finally publish it and get right into new inspiring projects!
I actually quite like this dress, and the material feels so nice!
My best friend, an aspiring photographer, was available to do these photos so I had fun being an amateur model for the day.

Gorgeous dress! I love the fabric, especially the colour :) Where did you get the fabric from? I have such a hard time finding decent evening fabrics in Spotlight…

It actually IS from Spotlight! Though i totally know what you mean. I sometimes go fabric shopping there and walk out empty handed, or change my project completely because of limited quality fabric.
This dress is one of the nicest fabrics I’ve picked so far! Much richer than satin, so nice to touch. I’m still learning how to choose fabric though. Thanks for your feedback :)

Wow, I’ll have to check Spotlight out again (I haven’t been there in a while) I’d love to get my hands on some of that sateen :)

Thank you! I thought it might be too much of one bold colour but now that it’s made, I’m really happy with the colour too.
