Burda Style For people who sew

Here are a few more suggestions for constructing this dress:
1.) Use a baby hem stitch at the hem. You can find instructions on this in our techniques section.
2.) If your fabric is not wide enough for your back skirt, you will have to piece it together. Put the panels together on the bias for a smoother, less instrusive look.
3.) We added sequins around the neckline to create some extra interest, there are all kinds of fun and fancy trims out there that can have a similar effect.
4.) Have fun and be patient! Don’t start this dress a week before prom!
