Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress I am particularly proud of, because it turned out beautifully, in my humble opinion! The fit (on me) was superb, and my application of newly-learned collar and puff sleeves techniques was a success. My husband and I agreed on the perfect buttons for this project, after a lengthy consideration of choices of our ten finalist would-be buttons. I guess my obsessive compulsive attention to detail and to overall look, paid off in this case, as I received many compliments while shopping at the mall. It’s a bit dressy, I know, but I was feeling like a million bucks that day, so I wanted to dress like a million bucks as well, hahaha : )

I love this dress! Is there a pattern available for download? I need to make a similar puff sleeve for a little girl, but don’t have a pattern. The skirt of the dress will change a bit compared to this lovely adult dress.

this is indeed a great looking dress. I particularly love the fabric, and the shape of the sleeves..i need to find out where i can find a pattern or directions on how to make puffy, cute sleeves like that.
