Burda 09-2008-114 Retro Dress/Jumper

Can I just say that I love this dress? I love the chevroning stripes. I love the fit (except for some wrinkles in the back). I love it. All photos are much bigger but I made them small here so this page would load faster. Full review here at PR.

My girls who couldn't resist the photo shoot.



The runner's butt.


My husband said he will help me make a Duct Tape Double so I can make proper darts.




Click to make this larger. It shows how to do those tricky corner seams.



I interfaced the bias center with Whisper Weft for a little stability. I don't like Whisper Weft, by the way. It leaves glue residue on my iron every time I use it. If I use a pressing cloth, my pressing cloth sticks to the fabric.


Look Ma! No boobs! If you have some, do an FBA. It's not tight on me but if I had breasts, I'm not sure where they would go. Maybe these are runner's boobs?


I think I have purged myself of my dud-ness.
