Burda Style For people who sew
Description
It is again the easiest possible jersey dress made only from square pieces… Lazy me…
But the truth is it is done in 2 hours and comfy to wear. Summer is a good thing.
I got inspired by Spiderlily’s skirt creation. Looking at hers I still like it more than mine. Mine looks somehow droopy and too much gather at the waist – maybe I will try to change it if I figure out what I did wrong. I mean if I cut it circular I wouldn’t get the folded bubble edge, or?
I have a bit mixed feelings about this dress right now – It looks a bit younger and girlier than I am used to. In the same time it is the model I imagined.

I think it is a bit girly but praises for the rolled shoulder!

I like it! Fits you perfectly! I don’t think it looks too girly, but maybe some black tights will help? (oh yeah, I know it’s summer right now ;))

I think this is a sexy dress. Its skin tight but at the same time I think when I look at it I appreciate that its a beautiful dress.

its really pretty, it would be cool if the sleves had buttons or eye hooks & you could change them!

I agree, it’s not too girly. Something about the material and the tightness and especially the asymmetrical sleeves gives it a punk look.
