Description
I made this Heidi with a small length of vintage cotton from Liberty. This is my first Heidi and I made it too big so to make it a little smaller I added six pin tucks along the centre front. I’m really happy with how the pin tucks turned out and I think it suits the style of the dress so I think I’ll include them again on my next Heidi. This pattern was really easy to follow. I unfortunately didn’t have enough fabric to make the matching belt. Thanks Burdastyle for a great pattern.

Cotton, bemsilk lining

I love this- even though you have used vintage fabric, your dress looks really modern.
