Burda Style For people who sew
Description
After coming home from four months studying in Rome I was having sewing machine withdrawal and wanted to sew something for my cousin’s wedding. I modeled this dress off something I saw on Modcloth ( “http://www.modcloth.com/Womens/Dresses/-Elegant-Speech-Dress-in-Noir” ) using Butterick BP214 as the base for the bodice. It’s got a bunch of problems since I made i in one day: my zipper wasn’t long enough, the pleats wouldn’t lie flat, the hem isn’t terribly even, but still, I love the way it turned out!
ps. Pickin’ Flies is a dance my dad always does at weddings, and it looks absolutely ridiculous. Sorry my only head on image is blurry!

I like the bodice of this dress – it’s interesting.
