Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this dress for this year’s production of my school theatre group; we will be doing “The Real Inspector Hound”. I’m responsible for the costumes and will be playing Lady Muldoon, so her dress was the first thing I made ;-)
The light was horrible when I took the pictures, so I played with my trusty Photoshop CS :-) It’s a black dress anyway, so why bother about saturation, right? :-P
The pattern is from burda magazine 12/2008, for once I didn’t change anything, because I just lovelovelove the dress the way it is. :-)
Material Notes
Black satin and a black viscose-mixture-thingy (no idea really)
