Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I wanted to make a funnel dress for a long time, and the “Kangaroo pocket dress” decided me to give it a try. I didnt have any pattern so I just made it with patience and luck…I guess it’s full of unwanted creases and pleats and other mistakes but it’s ok.
I liked the shape of the pocket openings on the kangaroo one, so i kind of copied it, but decided to make only one pocket. Thought of giving a bit of brightness using yellow fabric but i might change it back to something more neutral in the future…
I put little black press studs on the collar so it can be worn in several ways (straight, folded or pinned).
Looks a bit like a space suit, people think of a penguin because of the colour and shape of the pocket, but i kinda like it. Just gotta think of when to wear it …
Material Notes
Thick cotton remnant (had to make the dress fit into the small piece of fabric i had).
Difficulty
Novice

I love this shape of dresses. It’s becoming so popular too which is nice. It’s retro, takes you back to the mod 60s and 70s, but it seems that the comeback has a new twist, trending towards natural fabrics (cottons, linens). Have you guys head of Martha of Uniform Studio. Ooooh so nice. Her shapes are like these and I love them so much.
