This dress has an extra dash of class that is both a wonderful swinging style and a showcase of creativity. Read on to see the pattern and the original style from 1955...
Over and original style from burda moden 6/1955
A colorful print is a sure sign that spring has arrived! Graphic stripes set in an interesting panel placement, preferably in a white, red and/or blue lightens the look through the summer months. The colours are nothing new as they come back year after year with success. This retro style, though, lets the classic stripes get a sophisticated interpretation. The bands along the neckline of the bodice extend visually into the skirt panel sewn with many directional stripes in a virti- cal and horizontal fashion.
"A fresh look through summer"
It is a look that is not only great, but optically stretches the final style. The dress finishes with the clever cut to shape a magnificent hourglass figure. And not only that – the design is one that lends itself to fully creative options. For instance, rather than vertical and horizontal s t r ipes, you cou ld u se mi n i and oversized printed f loral fabrics; or choose a solid colour for the vertical panel pieces; or choose to replace the rel at ively simple but t on w it h an extravagent style like rhinestone or pearl.
