Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Made using an Eliza M Vintage sewing pattern, this 1950’s influenced wiggle dress was very quick to sew together and gives shape with contour darts and waist darts. I fully lined it instead of adding facings. It’s so tight, you can’t help but wiggle in it!

Hi Jane, love the dress it fits beautifully. I’m hoping to go on a fabric store hunt in London in the next few weeks. Do you have any favourite stores?
