Description

I fell in love with this pattern in the June edition of Burdastyle (n.126). It is Marilyn Monroe like with a deep V-neck and a deep V-back. It actually fits me better than I expected it to!

I Battled with it, because the fabric is very flowy, meaning
- not easy to work with
- transparent
- annoying to gather
- but so damn cute!

Also, the same fabric has been used for the lining of a jacket I made earlier ( jacket ).

I am very proud, it is also very nice for an evening out.

    I love this one! You look so sassy and elegant in it, especially teamed with the insanely sweet red heels.

      Red shoes… They hurt the feet, but they’re worth it :)
