Description

Pattern is from Burda Easy Summer 2009. It was easy to sew, and I love it ! The folds on the skirt and on the top make the dress very special.

The original pattern had a chiffon underskirt, but I didn’t make it, I thought it would be “too much” to wear it everyday.
And I added the belt – an old tight !

Material Notes

Cotton, zipper, old tight

    Very cute. It fits you so well. I bet you will wear the heck out of it. Cool idea to use tights as a belt.

    It’s gorgeous!!! The cut looks really nice on you, and the folds really give the dress that little extra. I love the fabric. Great job!
