Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is another Olivia inspired dress that I drafted myself. I used an old sheet that I picked up for a dollar, it’s not my fashion fabric of choice, so try to ignore the print…it’s more of a wearable muslin!
Shoulder yoke with pleated bodice front, 3/4 sleeves, round/pointed collar, button placket, a-line skirt with pleats in the back, self fabric belt.
I want to replace the buckle with a smaller, neutral colored one, but for just wearing around the house I’ll probably knot the belt on instead.
Material Notes
Cotton Polyester Blend - too stiff and cheep feeling. A nice cotton would be prefered.

I’d like to sell my patterns someday. I’ve been looking into it, but there’s a lot to do before I can have my patterns ready. Hopefully someday!
