Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Very easy dress I made with a New Look pattern from the 90’s. I shorten the hem, sewed a rectangle of fabric under the bust, added shorts sleeves with bows and a Peter Pan collar. I didn’t have pattern for the collar so I traced mine.
I used a kind of suiting fabric in grey with golden stripes and blue poplin.

I liked it! the fit and the color combination. If it was a bit looser It would be my ‘proudly wear to work dress’(minus the bows of course!) nice job!
