Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress is inspired by a beach dress which I’ve seen last week on holiday. The dress was made of dark grey jersey with silver buttons on the sleeves.
For my dress I created a simple dress-pattern and cutted the sleeves.
Front and back are made of black sweatshirt jersey. For the sleeves I used velvet fabric with snakeskin prints on it. I totally love my new dress and will wear it to dinner today.

Love it, the sleeves are such a great way of making the dress pop, and of toning down the snake-skin a bit (to make it look cool rather than tacky)!

The fabric combination works really well!
