Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I found this skirt in an op shop and bought it for 3.50 euros. I used my self drafted princess shoulder bodice and mini skirt patterns to create this dress. I had only just enough fabric to make the dress….. so it’s a bit short. But I think that it makes it a bit 60’s like.

Great upcycle! It doesn’t look too short. Just perfect for a mod-style dress.
