Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress was made using Simplicity 2253 and lots of silk dupion and interfacing. I liked the criss crossing of the seam lines and the shoulder feature.
A very appropriate dress for painting the town.

Fabulous! This fits you so beautifully and is simply stunning. Use it with caution, though, I foresee traffic jams.

That’s for sure. The red dress would clash with my blue skin at the moment it’s so freaking cold!
