Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is the second dress I’ve made so far for our June Challenge (4 dresses in one month!) and I’m really pleased with it. Black may not be a very summery colour, but it’s versatile, and the linen makes it comfy and breezy to wear. For the pattern I modified the bodice pattern I used for the Ghana dress by removing the cap sleeves and adding a button extension (I have posted a tutorial for adding button extensions to my blog). The scalloped hem is faced, as this was easier for creating even scallops.
Material Notes
black linen and pretty buttons I searched for forever (I’m so fussy when it comes to buttons)
Difficulty
Intermediate

Lovely, and I think we have similar tastes, because I bought recently the same cardigan (or it looks the same) and I plan to wear it with black dress I made :).
