dress - burda magazine 10/2015, #111

don't remember that i've ever before waited

for new burda magazine to hit the stands

as with this issue..

few minutes after i got my copy

i was in studio, tracing pattern for dress #111

..

fabric is a remnant box find

some sort of rayon blend, with a bit of stretch

and it actually has two good sides

(the other side looks like a negative of the one i've used)

..

i've already traced and cut the pattern

when noticed that stretch is lengthwise

not crosswise, as i thought

but was too eager to start sewing

that i decided to ignore that fact, and go with it anyways

so the dress ended up being a bit snug at the hips

(if i ever make it again

gonna go a size bigger at the hips

or chose the fabric that stretches in right direction)

..

not being a fan of waist tucks

i turned them into double pointed darts

which simplified the look a bit
