I used the Burda Style Lydia pattern and made it into a dress. I made the arms longer…it’s simple, but the sash around the waist adds a nice touch and it can be dressed up in so many ways.

This looks so comfortable. The double stitching at the neckline adds a professional look. I have a family member who will use these for work tunics. Only hope I can find that color. It is just right for her. The longer sleeves are a nice touch. Guess I better use the Lydia for more than a dorm shirt, aka nightgown. Nehmah
