Description
Azalea dress without top layer. Had a bit of trouble getting the top facing sitting nicely till I found a how to on an all in one facing. This is great!! I’m going to use it all the time with sleeveless dresses/tops. It looks so much more professional. How to link: http://www.burdastyle.com/howtos/show/93

Thanks for the nice comments. I made the pattern a size smaller as I was using stretch fabric, this is probably why it looks more fitted than some of the other Azalea dresses. I also omitted the zip as I used stretch fabric. This is such a great pattern, when I have a chance I want to make the original version too!

oh cool, did it turn out slimmer because the bottom layer was slimmer? just saw one without the bottom layer, now it’s like 2 totally different patterns. looks awesome!
