Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This fulfills my obsession with jersey fabric, quick easy projects, and convertible clothing.
After drooling over Oona’s version and eagerly waiting for a tutorial for it, I caved and tried for myself, with great success.
If Oona doesn’t tute her tutorial soon, I may add instructions here.
This can be worn a bunch of ways, strapless, hooded, cowl necked, even as a high waist skirt. Think of perfect this would be worn on a warm day as a skirt and camisole, but in the cooler night as a hooded dress? Perfect!

Great Job, that is really a versatile top, including being used for a hoodie. Oona would be proud of you too.

This is probably my favorite thing in my closet right now, as for Oona’s approval, I’m unsure – it’s a solid neutral color!
