Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Made using Vogue 1104, out of thin silk charmeuse. The edges of the ruffles and the sash are finished with a rolled hem on my overlocker, using two shades of red thread I already had. The design has threaded sash loops, and a really cute looped button closure at the front; and I added inseam pockets in the side seams.
This is a new look for me, but I love the romantic femininity of this, plus it will be cool to wear on hot summery days.

Read the blog, very funny story! I can imagine you cringing while he hacked the fabric then crammed it into the bag. This is such a pretty dress, very feminine and fun.

I adore your dress! I’ve had the pattern in my stash for a quite a I while as well…. those ruffles kinda scare me too, but you have convinced me to give it a try.
