Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Pattern Kwik Sew 3228. This is one of my favorite dresses, and I’m extremely pleased with the finished product. It was my most successful dress after making some mediocre items. I liked it so much, I made it again in another fabric (see the Brunch Dress) and was the start of a very productive sewing year. Per usual, I brought the hem up, but just a touch.

Material Notes

Such a shame the colours in the photos don’t show up correctly—I bet it’s cute!

I like this very much – it must be warm where you are — it gladdens our chilled bones here in UK to view summer season garments in other parts of the globe !

No it’s winter here too (tho quite mild this year). I took these photos in November and just uploaded them yesterday…So slow, I know. I made this in the spring, but had a photo shoot with my friend for all of my looks at once. I look forward to wearing this dress again too in the coming months. Thanks for your nice comments.
