Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Sometimes, the fabric calls and you just have to listen. As long as I’ve had this fabric (graphic white flower print on black with a border print along one selvage) I have taken it out of the drawer from time to time, draped it around my body, and known that it had to be a strapless dress with that border print as its bodice. The dress itself is very simple: a strap of fabric with the border print, faced with thin black cotton and a long A-line ‘skirt’. The dress closes with the tie at the back. Unfortunately, I only had just enough fabric to get the pieces out at all, so I couldn’t even start trying to match the print at te vertical seams.
Material Notes
black and white printed cotton (with some polyesther in it I'm afraid)

I really love this dress. I wish u had taken a picture without the strapes hanging down so i could see the opening at the back. Good job though.
