Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve recently become very interested in the designs of Claire McCardell. This is my first attempt at reimagining her “future dress” from the mid 1940’s. It’s simply made of four triangles, cut on the bias. More on my blog, Daughter Fish

Fabulous, though I get your initial hesitation. I love the first shot.
I’ve been eying this dress: http://pinterest.com/pin/21040323229523861/ lately (pinned it), a lot, it’s fabulous in kind of the same way your dress is. A new trend :-)?

Oh, I LOVE that dress you pinned! I just pinned it, too, (and am now following you:)). Yeah, I’m way more into the un-belted version. Perhaps it is a new (or old becomes new again) trend:)

She’s the mother of my bias obsessions. So that’s a high compliment. Thanks!
