Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I love thrifted clothes! I found this big gown and loved the pleated skirt, so I took it apart, made some adjustments and put them together again. The bodice is a simple V-neck that i drafted, and the waist is nipped in by the convenient elastic band :o)
The last b&w pic is what it looked like before.
