Description

I started with Burda WOF 08/2009-128 (minus the sleeves and a bit of length). Another unfortunate situation where the top of the pattern seems to be massive compared to the bottom. So I took in heaps of the back. Then the top didn’t fit right, too wide… So in the end I had to unpick like all of the dress and rework it. Thankfully it turned out pretty good, love the colour and the style.

Material Notes

Polyester that feels like silk! Polyester lining (full).

    Beautiful dress! The print has its own voice and you gave it freedom to speak! Super elegant!

    I love the fabric and the simple silhouette to show it off!
