Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The dress (especially it’s simple elegance and the clear lines) won my heart in the first second.
This is the Maestro who created it. Gilles Dufour.
The design is from the Patrones Nr.225, Oktober 2004.
Now the time has come, after I worked on this dress for one year. Actually I sewed it twice, I remade every single seam.
Patrones’ patterns were not very good, that’s why I used Japanese basic constructions to change them.
You can visit my blog for more details and pictures of the execution.

You look much better than the model in the patrones-magazine! You remind me of Audrey Hepburn somehow… The dress is amazing!

You’re right Apfelblüte – it’s incomparable. Such a great LBWD. Das Kleid ist wirklich außergewöhnlich, ich bin begeistert. Ich bewundere Dich für Deine Geduld und den Perfektionismus. LG

grade mein perfektionismus sollte man nicht bewundern, denn er macht mich oft unglücklich :-(
aber es nützt mir auch nichts, so stehen zu lassen, denn dann werde ich es nie tragen..
