Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a dress I made for work. It’s the first piece of clothing i’ve made for actual wear – prior to this everything i’ve made has been a practice garment (with horrible cheap fabric) or a costume. This time I splashed out on some $20/metre fabric and it was well worth it. The neckline gapes a little (a common complaint with this pattern from what I can see on patternreview.com) but overall i’m very happy with the result. And as you can see in the pictures it’s already been worn to work with rave reviews :)
Material Notes
Suiting fabric, custom covered buttons (from Jimmy Buttons), zip and lining. I accidently used cheap 100% acetate lining, a mistake which won't be repeated.

It really suits you, you look fab. The fabric looks very good quality, it was well worth it. I bet you got lots of compliments, they are always an added bonus. Keep up the good work, you’re very talented, well done! :) xx
