Description
This is my cocktail version of the Malissa. This is the first time that I have done a competition on Burda. I kept the pattern pretty true to the original but i gave it some more shape.

I love the idea of the extra-wide belt— it adds so much to it, while being a very easy variation to do. I’d definitely consider wearing the Malissa like that!

I like your version. I think that Malissa looks much better with the belt.
