Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A dress I made for my friend’s birthday after she picked it out herself. In burdastyle magazine it was part of an asian themed editorial, but when we saw it, we immediately thought of science-fiction and space travel instead. I think it’s totally something that could be worn on Star Trek and the likes :)
So with another colour combination the dress is now no longer at home in the far east, but in the far reaches of space.
By the way, the pictures were taken on my rooftop. I don’t have a balcony, but my roof is like my private terrace and that’s way better anyway.
Oh and how about you come on over and visit my blog? I like it there, maybe you will, too :)

Now that you mention it , yes it´s kind of Star Treck style too! Good point! So is it you or your friend posing for the photo? In case it is you, the dress looks fantastic on you!

I love this dress, but in Burda made of black sateen it was to elegant for me. I love the colors and fabric you’ve chosen.
