Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I love yokes on tops (actually the pattern called it a flange) so had to make this dress.
This one is Vogue 8280.
Some very clever stitching involved in getting those yokes down (which I totally fudged! though thankfully its not very visible). Quite proud with the result in the end. It has these cute tucked up cap sleeves which are huge and floppy.
Material Notes
Lovely light weight wool, blue with light blue and grey shot.

Well done on putting up all your recent stuff! This dress is my favourite, the cap sleeves are really unique.
I have to say, all your fabric choices are amazing.

Niiiice! I really like the sleeves, and the dart-details, sophisticated!
