Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I used Vogue 8028 for this dress, the same pattern I used for my cord shirtdress. The cuffs of the dress were cut on the bias, and the rest of the dress was constructed as the pattern asks. I love this sort of plaid, and green is my favorite color! My blog entry for this dress may be found here.
