Ellen's Sewing Passion

I'm always curious how the dress pattern will turn out in real.. I chose to use linen fabric because it's rather stady. I stitched the single welt pockets to the front panel. Then I stitched the side panels at front. I have used an exposed zipper at the back. The waist band are stitched at the back panels. Then I stitched the back side panels before I stitched the side seams together. I made button holes at the back panels, and sew the buttons in place. I like the side pockets. This is how the dress looks on at the back,  but I think I prefer to use a jacket or a blouse underneath. The Yellow Jacket  is an earlier project 💛 I decided to hand-stitch the hem.

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
