Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this to fit model for a fashion show (which is why it doesn’t fit me). This silk taffeta was originally cream with that wide black floral border print. Actually, it was a very old piece when I bought it, so I wonder if it was originally much whiter! Anyway, it was a bit blotchy, so I took my chances and dyed it purple in hopes of getting a more even color. It worked!
I liked the border print a lot, but wanted to find a way to use it at the top and the bottom, so I created the gathered bustline. I added a bit of black tulle to the underskirt for fun.

wow you’ve got talent! Amazing dress, with a lovely colour combination. Do you draft and sew all your creations by your self?

Thanks everyone! Ghainskom - Yes, I did get it back, and the adjustments to make it fit me wouldn’t be too laborious … I just haven’t done it yet. I guess I need to find a party to go to!

Beautiful work with border details, especially the gathered bustline. The color turned out divine!

I like the skirt’s pleats and the repeated floral print a lot. Too bad it doesn’t fit you though! Don’t you get it back after the fashion show?
