Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My new Tara dress is the most comfortable dress ever! This definitely won’t be the last one I make. The fit was perfect and I didn’t have to make any adjustments (except to lengthen the top to a skirt). I also thought it was a good pattern for my tummy that is going to expand over the next few months. I added lace to the bust area, sleeves, back and hem and added in a piece of teal satin so that I can wear the dress to work.
Material Notes
Purple jersey, teal lace, teal satin

aww, congrats on the expanding belly :D the dress is so pretty, you look great! how did you added lenght? with the lenght lines in the pattern, or did you “extended” it continuing the original lines? (i speak spanish, i have no idea if you understand xD)
