Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I did like this dress, and I bought this lime green jersey fabric from USA. The most difficult was the skirt because even when I cut the small size, still was too big. So I have to reduce it and fix it quite few times. I bought a long dyeable zipper, which I dye close to the color of the dress. The photos were take by a mobile phone at my work place (>.<)

Va va voom – definitely making a statement in that dress! Looks absolutely fabulous on you. I really loved this pattern in the latest edition of Burda but wasn’t sure if was going to suit me. I think I’ll try and add a bit more of an a-line flair to mine.

Of course, you should try, you know for me sewing is a very special hobbie, it keeps me away from negative thoughts and depression.!!

This dress looks fabulous, I never would have thought to pick this color and especially in a jersey. You did a fantastic job and the dress looks georgeous on you.

I love strong colours, I come from a very warm country Venezuela, but I live in Norway and its dark, so I think to use bright colours make a difference in such a darkness :0)

I tried making this dress and could not for the life of me figure out the yokes, after 3 different attempts I gave up and just kept the skirt portion of the dress pattern. Yours looks great I wish. I had figured them out.
