Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This was a dream dress designed by myself for a dear friend. The bodice was randomly gathered on angles to give her a good bustline. The skirt was fitted at the front and flowed out to a train at the back. A large soft bow was tied at the base of the V at the back.
The straps blended into the V at the back
