Description
I’m so glad this dress is finished! All those stripes gave me quite a bit of grief. In my matching madness I kinda lost sight of the goal (a well-fitting dress) and made it too small but I managed to fix it. Now it’s over! It’s done! So I’m happy :)
Material Notes
Quite thick striped cotton, invisible zip, boning

I used some of the bodice pattern pieces from Burda pattern #7829 and I used a
My seam ripper for doing so much hard work

Lovely dress! You did a beautiful job with piecing the bodice (and coming up with the design yourself!).

I for one am glad you hung in there, the details and difficulty are encouraging. The overall outcome is beautiful… Enjoy wearing it! Thank you for posting.

Wow! Your dress is beautiful! I can’t believe how well you matched up the stripes! If I saw this in a shop I would find it very hard to walk away without buying it! It would be very interesting to see how this pattern looks in a plain fabric. Amazing work.

Wow wow WOW! I take my hat off to you- matching stripes IS a real pain but you have excelled, and really made the way they meet and chevron away a graphic feature of the dress. I especially like the neckline detail.
