Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress was made with a vintage Vogue pattern (#5256), and vintage Greeff medium-weight cotton. I altered the pattern to add a keyhole opening in the back. 100% cotton, finished with a self-lined bodice, french seams and bias tape.

Happy sewing!

Love your color combo and the keyhole in the back. Some I have seen have been to large for my taste, but yours is perfect.

I totally agree. Personally, I don’t like a keyhole if it is so large you can’t wear a bra without the back strap being seen. I think this one is a good size. Thanks for your comment!
