Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I’ve just come back from a month in Uganda and I brought this fabulous fabric with me. I wish we had fabric like this here in Denmark. Everything seems a little brighter when you’re wearing crazy patterns :-) The dress is very easy to make. I just modified my basic bodice block a little to get the ‘racer front’ and the skirt is just a rectangle gathered at the waist.

No, it’s based on my bodice block and the skirt is just a rectangle…dead easy :-)

Great choice of fabric and I love how you altered the bodice. It is very flattering on you. I like that you kept the dress simple to let the fabric do the talking! :-)
