I made my dream dress for autumn. In quite a light and drapy fabric, (viscose) knee length, allowing for lots of layering options, such as slip dress and tights, vest, cardigan or even a lagenlook tunic. For now I'm just wearing it as shown on the picture. It's also easy to dress up or down with the right scarf, handbag and shoes.
The pattern I used is Burda Style 08-2015 #123. It's my third garment from this pattern and my favorite one. The first make, as per pattern, can be seen here. The second one is a wadder, let's forget it. And this one is just right ! But I did many things differently.
To begin with, I deepened the neckline. The original one had me chocking. Then, I lengthened the sleeves to a nice 3/4 style. I also added pockets in the side seams and I lined the skirt, which is crucial for me if I want to wear it comfortably with tights. Oh ! And I turned the original horizontal darts of the bodice to vertical ones. I think they're easier to fit this way. And because I enlarged the neckline, I didn't need any zipper.

Ce patron est un petit bijoux! J'en ai cousu deux version et je les aime autant l'une que l'autre... J'aime aussi beaucoup la tienne, très joli choix de tissu ;)
ReplyDeleteTout à fait d'accord ! Je vois que tu as creusé l'encolure de la deuxième version, moi aussi j'en ai éprouvé le besoin.
