Description

I used the top part of a Burda pattern (#103, 05/2010), added a circle skirt and redrafted the sleeves. While I love the print and the silky soft viscose fabric, I had some issues with the overall look, so I reworked the dress into a skirt. Nevertheless I wanted to share the first result.

You can read and see more about this project and many more on my blog.
