Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made a little black dress for our company christmas dinner… but it was really an exercise in pattern construction. I wanted to learn how to make a bodice with a draped twist on one shoulder.
I managed with the help of Pattern Magic, Vintage Sewing-Info and just trying it out in different ways by making little 1/4-size patterns… loads of fun! In the end I moved all darts to the shoulder and converted them into a drape instead of darts.
More information about the dress and how I made the pattern at Ancien-Nouveau and here .
Material Notes

Cute dress! I love the twisted shoulder :) I may have to try that myself someday…

Very interesting detail! I am glad you had fun with the process of creating it too, but the result is very elegant and beautiful!

It looks great! The twist is beautiful and neat, and really gives a simple dress that little extra. I like the red belt and also the neckline on the other shoulder, does that follow the neck for a bit?

Very Nice! I think I´ll try the twisted shoulder too!

It is beautiful! Especially with the belt. Usually I prefer symmetrical clothes, but here i like the twist at one shoulder.
