Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Last night my family had plans to go out to dinner, which turned into great inspiration to get me to finally finish this dress. The fabric was found at a thrift store and has a nice texture and weight. The buttons are vintage from a big rummage sale. The sleeves and collar were based on the JJ blouse pattern and I made up the button up front by looking at a top I already had. It’s a mini dress that is meant to be worn with tights or leggings.
Material Notes
Blue and white fabric, and 4 white buttons.

Love this dress! That fabric was a massive score. Looks a great dress to eat a big dinner in, not to tight round the belly! My favourite kind of dress!
