How is it possible to feel va-va-voom yet warm and cozy in these cold winter months? By wearing this dress, Burda 8771, that's how.
This dress might look very familiar to some of you folks. That's because it's an almost exact copy of
Christina's awesome dress. I was floored so much by hers that I wanted to make one of my own. Christina graciously lent me the now out of print pattern so I could make it happen. I even used the same fabric but in a different color (I didn't want to seem
too much like a copy cat). It's a
washable organic wool from Fabric Mart. Any wool that can be washed and looks this amazing is a keeper in my book.
I'm still amazed at how easy this dress was to sew up and how great the end result is. I feel like this is a dress that will never go out of style and one that can be slightly modified for many great looks.
