REPOST: My lovely Niece💙 is wearing a dress I made for a Member Model Challenge  hosted by BurdsStyle some years ago. I didn't won the competition, but it was fun to participate :) The dress is made of georgette fabric that are very delicious to wear. I have used micro satin for the lining. It was a bit tricky to sew the dress, but I was happy to manage. More pics of the  Fifties Dress  from an earlier post. BurdaStyle pattern

Happy Birthday to Sara 🌼 She is wearing a dress I made for a Member Model Challenge a few years ago hosted by BurdaStyle. The dress has piping at the shoulder, around the neck, sleeves,  and the waist, so it was really a great challenge. Piped seam dress #118 03/2015 She is the girlfriend to our yougest son.  

MEMBER MODEL CHALLENGE BY BURDASTYLE I love challenges and had to try this pattern! My choose of fabric is stretch crepe from  Jersey Fashion  and that it was not an easy choice... I had to hand-stitch around neck with gathering, sleeves, hem and slits. Anyway I managed at last, and I'm happy with the outcome :) Vote her if you like  I'm no. 10 :)
