Description
This is one of my entries for the recent swimsuit cover-up contest put on by Craftzine. It is a modified version of an awesome vintage pattern from Burda Moden magazine, circa 1971, for a floor-length evening gown, complete with French darts, a deep V halter neckline, and a sweeping scooped back. I modified the pattern by shortening it, and by sewing the cover-up from a patchwork fabric I constructed entirely out of scraps from my fabric scrap pile.
Material Notes
various cotton fabrics, thread, zipper, sewn-on snap

Absolutely love this, I think its looks great to use the patchwork this way. You’ve inspired me to try something like this. Love the 70’s patterns.

That’s awesome! I’ve never seen a patchwork dress like that. It’s so fun looking. I bet it would work in any season, too, because it has such a great mix of colors. Wish I had one!
