dress - burda 03/2013, #111, modified
last month i've sewn a prom dress for a client:
pale pink silk mini dress
with strappy back..
and i loved the way those straps turned out
so i made one for myself too
..
obviously, mine is not mini, nor pale pink
and definitely not made out of 40eur/m silk
but, with the tropical heat that we have these days,
rayon challis is better choice anyways
..

beautiful dress! I love the open strappy back. I want one myself
ReplyDeletethanks, nathalie! i'm crazy about those straps, might need to make one more dress like this
DeleteLove the straps! Fabulous dress!
ReplyDeletethanks, rebecca :)
Deleteso gorgeous! this is what i want to live in this summer.
ReplyDelete:) me too.. funny thing is, that the moment i sewed it, weather changed, and it's too cold for open back dress.. so i have to wait to wear it again
DeleteWhat a cool fabric! Love the strap-y back.
ReplyDeletethanks, lisa.. great fabric, i had it in my stash for ages, trying to think how to use it in best possible way
Deleteperfect match of pattern to fabric ;o)
ReplyDeletethanks :) took me a lot of time to find the right pattern for that fabric
DeleteGorgeous!!!

DeleteLoooove this back!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteI love it!! and now I have to sew one like that!! ja,ja!!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that! :)
DeleteBeautiful dress and beautiful back !!!
ReplyDeletethanks :)
Deleteyou're wearing fabric diamonds, those straps are the bomb! i might have to print this out and stick it on my machine for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteglad you approve, sis! you would look great in them diamonds, should give them a try :)
DeleteLove this! Was it tricky to do the straps and balance them out? GREAT JOB!
ReplyDeletethanks.. yup, pretty damn tricky.. mostly because i was too lazy to wait for my friend tea to be in our sewing workshop, and help me with them, so i had to do the straps on my own.. such a pain in the ass! they are not perfectly balanced, but i couldn't care less :)
Deletelove those straps … and especially I love the combination between the strappy back and the “modest” front - perfect !
ReplyDeleteI love the straps at the back, a very surprising detail after the full front! *^v^*
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Love your dresses, all of them, but now this is my favourite!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing! The strappy back looks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the straps at the back! looks really cool :) The fabric is pretty awesome too. I love your pattern/fabric choices :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous. What a great pattern - I've actually been looking for a low back maxi dress! Looks fabulous on you!
