Burda Style For people who sew
Description
this one was made of an old dress. A real recycling-project. I did some fit-alterations, shortened the seam, worked slits to it, shortened the sleeves, sew a shoulder-pad inside. The fabric is an elastic-woven blend, a little thicker fabric, between shirt and jacket-fabric, but I wear it like a blouse under a black blazer.
Material Notes
black and white hounds-tooth, elastic woven cotton blend
