Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I saw this dress in Satomi’s studio, hers is called ‘gathered linen dress.’
Needless to say, I became totally engrossed with the dress. I absolutely love Japanese
design and I felt like this dress really embodied many aspects I respect about it.
The link is below is the book which I bought the book from Japan Amazon.
I made this dress from Japanese pattern book. http://books.bunka.ac.jp/np/isbn/9784579112043/
The dress in the book actually has sleeves but I preferred to leave them off as I was
using this as a summer dress.

I don’t know why but sometimes the links to the dress work and other times it does not! You just have to click back and forth a few times! Check out Satomi’s Linen dress it is so beautiful -My dress looks exactly the same. (all of her creations are stunning!)

Ah, I remember Satomi’s dress, I loved it and I love this dress too. Impressed that you managed to order it on Amazon Japan, I speak and read a little japanese, and I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to try that… well done!

Your not going to believe this but it was the quickest delivery I have ever received on the internet (I think I have bought 5 purchases on Amazon which took over a week within the United States- The book from Japan took less than 24 hours!) I had no idea if I had filled out the form properly, I was so excited to have gotten it in such a short period.

Hey thanks ladies. Ordering the book on amazon Japan was a feat in itself. Trying to figure
out the parts on the pattern was like….. numbing. I had never transposed a pattern before…
all those lines! I also don’t read/speak Japanese.
The dress is beautiful to look at. I love it, although I think that it flatters a smaller frame
(smaller bust size) because of the shear volume of fabric.
I am really thinking of making another of these and a pattern
with less volume. You can basically use any shirt pattern and just
elongate the edges along the back and shoulders and gather them.
(Did that make sense)
RE: Linen! Hey Miss Carotte, I live where there is NO fabric….so awful!
I can buy linen or all poly crappola…… sigh!
Thanks Ladies! : – )

Beautiful!

waow amazing! I feel like making one perhaps in a nice raspberry pink, calling the creation a p’Ink ode to Satomi.
Once again great choice of fabric..
You are into your linen, lady!
