Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress. I am so pleased with this dress, it couldn’t have turn out better. I have always loved the Galaxy dress but could never afford to buy one, I still can’t believe I have managed to make it!!! It has taken me just over a day to make and there was lots of hand sewing involved but i got there, it was rather big when i made it so i took it in and i may have took it in a little too much, i will just have to not eat when i’m wearing it. I bought this pattern from the Vogue website when they had a sale a few weeks ago, it was only $5!!!! Pattern number V8280.

This is REALLY beautiful, I’ll try to make it too, even if I’m not that skinny… I just would like to have an advice: should I use an elastic fabric, or it works also with other materials? Thaaanks a lot!!

Stunning dress. I’m also making this dress (brought the pattern last year), and I’m seriously impressed you only took a weekend! I’m making a test version in calico and I’m finding that challenging.
So i take my hat off to you. Great job ;0)

It looks so beautiful on you!! It really makes me want to make one for me :D This would make a perfect dress to the wedding parties I’m about to attend this summer.

ahhh it’s looks really nice, wish i could order from the vogue site, but i live in holland and don’t have a creditcard… maybe i should get one for this dress!

Ooooh, I’ve got that pattern too. Must, must, must get organised and make it. You look great in it. I love that tailored look.

WOW!!! Thankyou all so much for your lovely comments, i wore this dress today at work and i felt fab in it! I think everyone should make one!!!! i’m thinking of making another one but without the sleeves, so watch this space!! Jelly bean – I know i can’t believe it either, i have only been sewing since christmas and i am self taught, i can see the improvement every time i make something, some things it takes me a while to figure out, but i get there in the end.

Looks great! I’ve loved this pattern since I saw it, but I’ve never been quite sure it would work with my bony cleavage, so I couldn’t justify buying it at about 12 euros ;) but it looks great on you and I can hardly believe you made it so quick.

Cool! I love this pattern. It is kind of on my long distance sewing plan. You have done great job!

Wow, there really is no stopping you now. I just looked at your homepage and couldn’t believe you’ve only been sewing such a short time. Great job!
