Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This was a dress I made originally to sell, but decided to keep :D
It’s a combination of two patterns, from Simplicity. I added a bunch of trim and hand-made pleats for fun.
Some of the images look bad because I dropped my camera while taking these . . . its still in recovery.
Material Notes
Printed poly/cotton blend, some mystery black fabric for the pleats, and trim
