Ellen's Sewing Passion

This is a dress pattern with very deep armholes, so the sleeves are very wide  and therefore I had to cut them in a single layer of fabric.   The front- and back panels are cut in heavy jersey, and I used satin fabric for the sleeves. I stitched the shoulder- and the side seams. The fabric around the neck is just folded to the inside.  I stitched the sleeves together, and the sleeve hem. - and the dress is ready for a party :) BurdaStyle 09/2013

I love to make dresses and this was a pattern that I had to try. The dress has inserted side-pockets and cap-sleeves.  The front and back-panels are cut out. The cap-sleeves are cut in double layer, as well as the side-pockets. The dress has a boat-neck. The shoulder- and the side-seams are stitched together before the sleeves are attached.  The boat-neck is handstitched in place. The hem is hand-stitched as well. BurdaStyle pattern
