Radiant Orchid is the color of the year 2014.
As you can see, plain fabrics are very rare in my
wardrobe.Literally I can't buy plain (one color) fabric. So this Radiant
Orchid color trend fell in love with another this year trend- abstract (art)
print. And that was that, perfect fabric for me.
This is a very old pattern from my huge stash of Burda magazines. So 80's style, simple and easy to sew.
Fabric: Rayon jersey
Alterations: I added knit neckband, Burda is suggesting turning the edges around the neck and topstitching.
My size pattern was too wide so I narrowed it a lot, but dress is still large.
I made the dress much longer than it is in Burda magazine. The knit fabric is too stretchy and "pulling" down, so the dress is longer than I wanted.
Consequently, I made a completely different style,
but I don't care.I like the dress, it is very comfortable and I will wear it a lot for every day shopping and
running around.Alterations: I added knit neckband, Burda is suggesting turning the edges around the neck and topstitching.
