shirt dress challenge

dress - burda magazine 04/2019/#119

i really loved april issue of burda magazine

and even managed to sew two patterns from the issue already

(other is a boiler suit pattern, that i'm crazy about)..

have also traced couple more patterns 

hopefully i'll get to make those soon as well

..

anyways, one day i was chatting with my friend tea

and we realized that we both have planed

to sew this very dress

(except that she wanted to make other version

with ruffled sleeves and hem)

and the idea of 'shirt dress challenge' was born

as it reminded us of those golden blogging days

and our previous coat challenge

our deadline this time was easter

but, as per the ushe, i failed to do that in time

and finished mine couple days later

which turned out to be completely unimportant,

since we're heaving a really cold month of may

and dress just hung in my closet

waiting for that one sunny day

when we can get our new dresses out for the spin

dress is a really easy one to make

not too much to say about it

other than you'll probably want to size down 

if you're making it,

as it runs pretty large..

i made a size 38, and can get in and out of the dress

without unbuttoning it..

also, it definitely needs a belt

as it's pretty shapeless without one

and not in a cool way..

but i love it, it's comfy, and a plan to make one more

but in solid color

and with breast pockets and shoulder details

as per the pattern instructions

..

this is what most of my pictures look nowadays

when my young shooting assistant is around:

and here's a sneak peek of tea's gorgeous dress

now go to her place to find out more about it
