BURDA 12-2014-146 GIRL DRESS





Hello!!!

As I mention before I totally adored the dress in the last Burda Magazine Dec 2014, so, I decided to start making it for the holidays. It said Festive dress with Tulle perricoat 147 although I don't think it needs the tulle under skirt, but we'll see.




It is a very easy but pretty dress to make. I had a very nice wool in my stash which I decided to use. I bought it when a designer store closed in Mexico City because the designer died and the people just sell as much as they could without knowing the prices... so it was pretty cheap. I have a little left that I might use for my other daughter.


So, I copied the pattern, adjust it as she is thin and tall for her age,  and start cutting which is the boring part of doing it.



I use a pink lining which I think I dont have any picture but it looks amazing, then I start sewing it and overlocking it.


The sleeves look awesome, they have 2 pleats that make the design very beautiful.




Then I put the invissible zipper and I went to the store and they didn't have the color I wanted which annoyed me, but I put a cream one which doesn't show.

I decided to make the hem of the sleeves and the skirt by hand as I've never done it by machine and I don't know if I will trust it or not, so it doesn;t show at all.



A little iron on the back of the invisible zip and a clear match of the belt.


And the dress is done, I just need to try it on her, but it is done!!!!   :)
