When I saw a picture of the back og this dress,  I just had to make one! The pattern looks very easy, but it will be change during the sewing. I have stitched the inserts, but need to make the lining before  stitching the marked line you see if you look very closely. I have stitched the inserts for the front part as well. The shoulders are stitched together and  I have made rouleau button loops at the back. I stitched the inserts for the lining as well.  Then the lining are stitched together with the top. I have cut several notches in the curves. The top is ready to be stitched together with the skirt. This is the front of the dress, and the invisible zipper are at the back.  The lining are stitched together with the skirt befor stitching the top and the skirt together. I'm very Happy how the dress turned out! I found the pattern in an old BurdaStyle magazine from 07/97. Me and my husband in the hotel elevator :)

This is another challenge I made for the TR course that I attended on the web  hosted by Shingo Sato. I couldn't leave the front panel in a drawer, so I decided to make a dress. This is the same pattern as I used to make the  TR Dress with Stripes This is how the finished challenge should look like. I decided to to adjust the neck and the arm holes.  I inserted one of my embroidery that I have made on the sewing machine on the back ♪♫ The short sleeves are stitched on the top  and I have inserted rubberband at the shoulders. I have also inserted rubberband at the sleeve hem and inserted an invisible zipper  at the left side, and gathered the first ruffle.
