Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I had originally planned on using the sheer lavender fabric I bought from Alameda last month but I just wasn’t into lining a dress this week. The fabric gods once again were smiling down on me when I thrifted about 4 yards of this nubby purple/pink plaid for about $1! From my stash, I picked Butterick 9651 because it was suitable for plaids and fairly simple. After all, with a hat like that, the dress doesn’t need to fight for attention.
This was the first time I created a dress with a circle skirt. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the fabric yardage needed for those huge pattern pieces. Thankfully, it was easy enough to adjust the skirt to make it fit within the fabric I did have. In all, I probably shortened the skirt by 4 inches! I’m wearing a crinoline in these photos so you could imagine just how long this dress would be at it’s original hem length.

That dress is absolutely gorgeous! I’m usually not a huge fan of plaid but this looks so fresh. :)

I think I like this length better than it would have been longer. It’s more modern this way.
