Burda Style For people who sew
Description
that took me forever to get right. I liked this pattern when I first saw it in the magazine and decided to go for it. Have used plus size patterns before and didn’t find it too difficult to adjust, except this one !!!! Turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought, but sort of got it right in the end. For the sleeves I have used some sparkly material that I found in my local shop.
Material Notes
Satin, sparkly bits???

thank you Mary. I love this colour and am also quite please about the sparkly bit on the sleeves. Like your idea of using it at the bottom of a dress, looking forward to see your project :-)
And yes, I think this is very similar to your last dress. XX
