Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I used the burda 7880 for this. It went together very quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! This was made for a steampunk convention and was a huge success. I will definitely be making more bustles! There are fabric “origami” butterflies all over this dress and it must be worn with a pink wig!

Love the color combination – especially with your pink hair. It would be so much fun to wear and outfit like this.

Love the quirky take on Victorian style! That bustle looks fantastic. Does the bodice attach in front with hooks and eyes?

It buttons all the way down, next time I will use hooks and eyes. They are much easier on the fingers.
