Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I like this dress, it fits well and has the trumpet sleeves that flatter, only one thing is I didn’t notice the dress was so short, if I make it again I would make it a bit longer over the knees :) Also my straps came out so short I don’t think I can tie them into a pretty bow!

Looks very flattering on you. And I really like the print— I don’t really like toile-like things generally, but the Golden Gate Bridge and stuff make it cool.:D

Looks great and I think the length is prefect. I think if it were longer it wouldn’t be so flattering.

this dress is so comfy to wear!
I had problems with the straps, too. When I put the dress on I turned it around infront of my belly, so i can make a better bow. But I agree with you, next time i would make the straps longer.
great job on yours!
