Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Today I finished this dress and wore it right away.
I love the shape and colour of it.
I used the same pattern as many other people, the cap sleeve dress pattern.
It’s fully lined. I made a muslin for the bodice because I had read that the neckline was gaping for some people. It would have worked without adjustments, but I slightly changed the darts for an even better fit.

Love this dress! Simple, but perfect. I feel a cap-sleeve dress itch coming on :)

Thank you. Yes, me too, and usually I don’t care if what I just finished is appropriate for the current weather or not.
