Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Ceylon!
Colette Patterns!
Yay!
Okay, so I had to make this dress in a mad rush because I needed it for a photo shoot to cover up my horrid sunburn, which it did, perfectly!
The print is Alexander Henry ‘Midnight Snack’, I have about 1.3meters uncut as well as large scraps left over, please let me know if you would like it!
The pattern was an absolute dream, and now I want to make another three, at least! There are so many things that can be done with this style.

Great dress – amazing style – wonderful choice of material. And it would work for me too – which makes it even more interesting (to me!). Though I think I’d have to go a bit more restrained. Thanks for showing it off. ps Love the whole look.

Luv, luv, luv it!!!!
So much so that you won the, “It’s so hot I’d wear it, and I’m a guy!” award. Now your frock has provenance. A talking point, as it were.
Congratulations, both you and the dress are winners!
