Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Once was a long sleeve, pussy bow dress that was great in theory, but looked way more Little House On The Prairie than hot librarian on me.
It’s a bit of a free form hack job but I am pretty happy with how it turned out – especially the shirring at the back. My first shirring!

hUray! librarians unite! Really cool, I wouldn’t wear it when I am front of house (which I always am!) though. the very few visitors (members of the Institute of psychoanalysis) of the library where I work may read too much into it. Just the thought of it gives me gooze pimples. But it is great creation!
