Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Here’s my contest entry—and my first posted creation! I thought I would post it as well as e-mail it, since I’ve enjoyed looking at everyone else’s entries. I shortened it a bit, made a tie neck, and attached a cumberbund-style belt. The fabric is a red silk jersey that I got at Mood. I had lots of fun making this!

I love what you did with the pattern made from my sketches. I sad to say I haven’t made one of my own yet, but love being a new mom. Soon, I will, I know…I will.

Congrats! It’s Beautiful. It reminds me a little of a Kenley from Project Runway design. (I love her!!! BTW). Screw the people who can’t take her attitude. Separate the art from the artist!

love it. With a different fabric, it could be an awesome 20’s inspired dress.

You made this dress look so cute. I tried and tried, but couldn’t make it look good with all that fabric. Your dress is very flattering.
