Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I went on a leadership conference with my school recently and I made this dress for the awards dinner that the sponsor was hosting. It took about 3 days to make. It’s supposed to be lined but I didn’t like the way it felt so I lfet the lining out. It’s commonly called a mermaid dress or trumpet dress.
