Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a dress that I fitted and made over my Christmas Break. It was a very laborious charge as I have a rather hard fitting problem in my arm area. It took me approximately 7 or 8 muslins (I lost count after a time) to get it right. Finally I have the blueprint for a perfectly fitting shirtdress, which I mean to make a few different versions of. For more details on this dress have a look here and here via my blog!
Material Notes
