Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Self drafted pattern. I tried to use an existing garment, but didn’t cut the bodice pieces on the bias so the gape a lot.
I’m not sure what the material is – some horrible synthetic stuff, which was a night mare to sew with, but hangs nicely and was a LOT cheaper than chiffon. This wrap dress is fully lined in grey cotton and more of the heavy black fabric so it could be reversible, but i haven’t finished the armholes to be seen both ways so I just wear the black and white polka dotty way.
Usually I wear it with a brooch to hold the centre front together.
