Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The Moddern sewing pattern, that I previously used for my White dress with purple piping.
I really like this pattern, and ever since I made the white dress, I’ve been thinking about making few more variations. I wanted to accentuate the crossed lines with contrasting colors, and when I found this double faced fabric, I knew I had to give it a try. The dress is made from 20 pieces, most of them with curvy, concave or convex shape, so I felt like I was building a puzzle while sewing it. Add to that the checkered pattern I tried to match on all these pieces, and you’ll get the idea of the amount of work it took. I didn’t manage to match all the check lines, but I think I did a good job in the end.
The front keyhole, neckline and armscyes are finished with navy cotton bias band. I was thinking about making bias band out of the fashion fabric, but then I thought it would be too much. So, I opted for the easier solution.
Material Notes
Double faced viscose.

This is insane! Just thinking about how much work it must have taken you makes my head hurt.

No heads were harmed while making this dress :). However, I felt dizzy after several hours of looking at the fabric.

Whao. This is nice. I have this pattern, since 2007 but I haven’t made it. This is so good.

Wow!!! The front side is almost like the contrasting colour is painted on the fabric! I can imagine that after some hours working with this fabric, you got squared eyes and a dizzy sight… Al this curves lines with the checkered pattern makes a marvelous combination. I really love this dress!!!!!
