Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is another infinity dress inspired by Sammy09 (thanks for the fabulous idea!) I love maxi dresses and the infinity dress it so comfortable and easy to make! I found this fabric on my birthday pre-cut, and talked the salesman down a bit for a birthday discount (score!) there was the perfect amount fabric for this project. I added a panel to the back for a mermaid effect and extra leg room.

Adorable print. It must be super comfortable. It’s on my list of things to make, but your print makes it DIVINE.

I questioned the fabric in the hours after I purchased it, my husband was so tired of my “is it ugly in a pretty way” questions! but I am very happy with it after all

I found this tutorial very thorough and helpful, but I altered it as Sammy09 had, to make the skirt long opposed to circle
