Burda Style For people who sew
Description
For last christmas I needed a “Red-Carpet-Dress” – the theme of our work christmas party. I looked through my old Burda magazines and found the perfect pattern in 12/2008. Then I also found immediately the perfect fabric, a duchesse satin (silk) and was able to finish the project in no time.
When I wore the dress that evening I got a lot of compliments and felt comfortable wearing it.
Material Notes
duchess silk-satin, zipper

Thank you. I love that shade of red as it is a bit darker than fire red. Gracias.

I made this dress in the sleeveless version and loved wearing it (mine was green). The red looks great in this – lovely dress!

Thank you – and I just looked at your dress… I decided for the sleeve-version because of wintertime (we even had snow that night) and I spared a “shoulder-cover”.
Thank you!

Thank you Mary Athey. I felt good and comfortable wearing the dress – not at all like a masquerade, if you know what I mean.

Danke kihli – das Kleid hat wirklich Effekt-Faktor und dabei ist es relativ einfach zu nähen. Zwar viele Schnitteile aber ungefüttert. Nun fehlt mir nur noch der “Oscar” ;)

Thank you Kisses – I love that red, it’s not “fire-red” but a litte bit darker and it says “here I am”…
