Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve had my eye on the JJ blouse pattern since I joined Burda a couple of months ago and I can finally say that I’ve used it. This dress was created using the basic pattern with a few alterations:
I lengthened it to make it a dress rather than a blouse.
I decided to not add the ruffles this time around, although I’d love to try another time with them.
Instead of putting a band on the arm, I added elastic to give it a ruffled look.
The fabric I used is a cotton and silk mix which was a bit of a splurge, but it feels so nice! And I love the pattern on the fabric! And I finally made a dress that isn’t blue! It’s all so exciting!
Material Notes
Cotton and silk fabric, and buttons.

Very cute dress. I’m glad that you use elastic around the sleeve band. It
makes life easier. And yes, I’m proud ;-)

Oh yes, that was definitely worth the splurge. Good effort! I think I need one of those in my wardrobe for the summer (if it ever reaches London that is!!).
