Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this dress just last week using a floral print chiffon. I used the Vogue 1152 pattern with some minor changes made to the design. I didn’t care for the original sleeves so I drafted my own petal style sleeves to give the dress more of a whimsy feel. I also added a lace inset to the front of the dress. Overall it was a really easy dress to make and I really enjoyed making it (:

Hey! Awesome dress. Just wondering if you had any trouble using chiffon with this pattern as it recommends crepe de chine and other heavier fabrics. I was planning to do it in a chiffon as well but the lady at the fabric shop talked me out of it…

Gorgeous dress and photos! I’ve been meaning to make this dress (among many other projects!) Where did you acquire that hat? It’s fantastic!

Thank you Messel! It’s a very fun dress to make. I can’t wait to see it if decide to make it! (: I actually got the hat from a dollar bin at Goodwill couple years back. It’s one of my favorite hats!
