Burda Style For people who sew

Description

This is my daughters (15 years old) Design and Technology creation for school. The brief was an age appropriate garment for a child. Gabby chose McCalls 5796 to make a dress for her little cousin using a combination of cottons – Eyeballing Yellow and Liberty Of London Betsy – Tana Lawn.

Gabby made up this dress as per pattern, the only alteration made was to the bodice. The bodice sat very wide on the body, so to bring it in (a great suggestion from her sewing tutor) Gabby added two pintucks to the centre front and then recut the bodice facing to fit. Little contrasting buttons were sewn down the centre front as well as back and embroidery anglaise trim around the hem to add lovely details.
