Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this dress for my friend Tiffany, she wanted something very simple but cute to attend her cousin’s wedding, we used satin she already had from a toga party and added 3 layers of blue chiffon. It was strapless at first but then, since she wanted to be really comfortable to jump and dance we decided to add straps.
I wanted a very soft layered look in the bottom so I cut all layers apart.
I blogged about it in my personal blog.

Hi! the dress is beautiful, how many yards of chiffon did you use? i want to make something similar. and did you use circle skirts for such a full flowy look or simply a wide skirt on the layers of chiffon?

I love the dress to, it looks great on your friend…I love the shape of the dress and the colour as well. I like the top part, the ruffles at the bottom, and the straps. The position of straps is very effective. ;)
