Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress is a birthday present for my 3rd daughter. I have wanted to make this dress for a long time after I saw one like it in an Anthropologie Catalog. Not being able to afford everything I’d like has really helped me be creative. So from looking at the picture in the catalog and using an old 1981 Simplicity Pattern (5117) as a guide this is what I got. I’m happy with it and most importantly my daughter loves it. Not to sure about the picture taking, she didn’t love that.

The dress is really lovely. I found the pattern on Etsy for a great price at ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/41472903/50-percent-sale-vintage-simplicity-no ) if anyone would like it.

This dress is stunningly beautiful – ruffled goodness without being overdone. Love the wide belt, color, EVERYTHING :-)

Gorgeous (both the dress & your daughter)!!! I love girlie dresses with ruffles, so this one is right up my alley (but I suspect it’s going to be a while ’til I can make something like this). The photos are fabulous too. Congrats!
