BurdaStyle: cotton tea dress
Cotton dresses with small sleeves - a must have for the summer. Today I'm blogging my Burda Style tea dress.
It's been a while since I've had a croissant. Last week on a cheat food day we decided to have some real non-gluten free pastry. And here is what my husband got at the bakery early in the morning:
It was delicious, but hopefully we won't be so bad anymore. Or at least any time soon.
But our dinner wasn't so bad: we had some sushi.
And a lovely walk, of course. It was a nice sunny and windy day, but when the wind is so warm...it doesn't count.
The today's garment is Burda Style Tea Dress
02/2014 #101. I liked it as soon as saw it in the magazine. It's very feminine, elegant and just lovely, but at the same time it's very easy to sew it. The A-line skirt has a small hidden secret - it's quite a flared skirt.
Sleeves are perfect for beginners and all those who doesn't like gathering them: they attach in the easiest way. I think that sleeves are very important for summer dresses: they protect shoulders from sunburn. I'm not a fan of tan, so for me it's extra important. Sleeves also turn any dress into actually a wearable one, by eliminating the "beach-like" effect.
As for the neckline, I used a self-made bias tape.
Fabric is 100% cotton poplin I've got from a local shop.
