Burda Style For people who sew
Description
A dress to welcome spring! It’s made using the 1950s Simplicity 2535 pattern, blue flower japanese cotton, and contrast red bias tape.
I’m still to make the apron, but that could be a while because I’m having a little too much fun swirling in my dress.

Thanks MientjilB! The neckline was supposed to be gathered (you can see on the pattern, or my blog) but it wasn’t working so I altered it.
I’m really happy with how it turned out, too! Thanks :) x
