Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I bought an 80’s prom dress full of ruching and lace for a Halloween costume several years ago. I’ve never worn it since and for some reason have hung onto it. Well the day came when I decided to rip into and salvage this fabric, so I made a Danielle! Fully lined and sleeveless, everything used on it is original to the dress except for the thread.
Material Notes
Pink satiny fabric, recycled nylon zipper, lace, cream acetate lining
