Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this for my sister’s homecoming dance. It was a bit hard for me to make cause I’m a beginner and only 13, but I really loved it!
Material Notes
I didn’t use silk jersey, I used satin for all three parts and a zipper.

I think I actually like this better in satin than in the original jersey. I hope she was pleased with her dress.

I love the fabric and the colours you choose

You’re all like hey guys I’m a beginner and I’m only thirteen but look what you did, girl! Converting a stretch pattern into non stretch and adding a zip is pretty impressive :)

Great Job! This is stunning! I love this pattern and have been dying to try it. I think the satin is beautiful!

this looks great, and especially for a beginner. i’d love to make this dress now!

upon further inspection, the next time you make it consider a lighter fabric (chiffon sheer, or a lighter satin) for the drape part. i think it will hang better.
other than that, i’m in love with what you did. i might have to copy cat!

that’s quite a project for a beginner! (and one so young) i hate doing zippers :) you did a great job!
