Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Pin-up meets Rockabilly meets Mad-Men meets….it’s all here in one dress. I fell in love with Vogue 8280’s sweet-heart neckline and pencil skirt; two never-fail styles in one dress. But I discovered poor 8280 has been spending much of her life in the office and was in need of some cheer with cheeky jolley-rogers, little anchors and air-mail stripe piping. Look at her go!

Haha, I love knowing when someone is from Australia when I can tell it’s fabric from my place of work!! Hehe!! I always thought it was a cute print when people brought it up to the counter but I never envisioned it as a beautiful dress!

Absolutely adorable……..It actually looks like it’s a little detachable bolero jacket, but it’s not! Love it
