BurdaStyle: long sleeve seamed dress

by - 16:51

I'm obsessed with pencil dresses almost as much as with circle skirts. Their ability to fit any forms perfectly and create a feminine silhouette is priceless. One of my favorite pencil dress is this popular Burda style red one.


As soon as I've bought 08/2012 issue of Burda style, I knew I'd sew this fantastic red dress (it's Long Sleeve Seamed Dress). I really liked the fact that it has small waist darts, because they're quite helful when it comes to creating a perfect fit. Unfortunately, this model is designed for tall ladies, so I had to make many alterations. But they were worth it!



I liked that dress so much that I even decided to sew it in red, just like in the magazine. I choose a cotton/polyester blend fabric (80% cotton). I think that a perfect perfect pencil dress should have a lining, and this dress isn't an exception. The lining fabric is a stretchy viscose.


I've worn this dress for quite a few occasion. First of all, it was a Carol Service. Next year I wore it for Christmas. Christmas is all about red and green, right? That's why I decided to wear it.


Unfortunately, both times I couldn't wear it with a nice pair of court shoes, but I hope my winter boots didn't spoil my outfit.

And some melancholic words... I must confess that when I was moving out to live with my hubby, I left that dress in my mum's home. :( It was a tough task to decide what to take with me to another part of the world! But I can't wait to reunite with this lovely dress. It wasn't a number one priority, but it doesn't change the fact that it's one of my favorite dresses I've ever sewn.
