Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A shameless copy of Vogue pattern V1158. I used the softest linen for the outer shell — it is very thin and frayed easily. but oh so soft! for lining, I used an old bedsheet that my husband tossed. I love it!
Its soft, breathy, drapy, heavy, and the color palette reminds me of a picnic by the sea. Perhaps I will wear it to the sea this summer, lets hope for the Indian summer!

This is so lovely, and I’m jealous how you got the lines so perfectly matched up! That seems to happen to me by chance… :)

I have this pattern and just haven’t had a chance to make it yet! I love how yours turned out (and it does look just like the one of the pattern).

Shameless but very skillful! And perfectly agree with your taste in fabric… wish I could shamelessly copy your copy but I am not able to make it!

Super cute dress. Love the bias cut and the herringbone effect the stripes make.

Haha… really shameless… 1:1 copy! :-))) But I have to admit your original-version comes out BEAUTIFUL! (That extra-piece of fabric under your arms is a good opition, especially for older ladys like me.)
