Burda Style For people who sew
Description
i saw a dress similar to this in a mag and set about trying to do my version. the pattern was a simple two piece from an old burda mag circa 1995. i altered the neckline and draped a piece of fabric over it on my dress form dolly. i lined it in pink for a bit of contrast and got the side feathers in a store in belfast.
Material Notes
stretch jersey and a feather facinator used as an adorrnment
