Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is my "little" Black dress which is perfect for any occasion. I bought the fabric at  Stof 2000  in Copenhagen, and it's a stretch fabric with sparkling. I have made another  Linen Dress  earlier of the same pattern, and I like this style very much. Burdastyle pattern #111 05/2017

To make it a bit special I chose to use another color as lining, and I made the lining approx 5 cm longer than the skirt of the dress. I think the back of the top is very neath with the v-neck. This is the original which I was going to sew in the competition. As you can see of the picture I decided to use a very nice silk satin for the dress. The lace is transparent and perfect for the top.   I have used the neon satin as a little detail of the back of the shoulders and also as lining for the skirt.  I cut the lining a bit longer than the skirt so you can see it at the hem.  Since it is neon it's also shining  through the white skirt, and I think it makes it very nice.       I'm ...
