This dress is called "coffee date dress" and it was really easy to make. I finished it in an afternoon. (Well, sort of... I still need to work out what kind of belt I want on it, and I have to finish the hem.) The original pattern has a great ruffle on the neck, but since the fabric is a bit busy as it is, I though I would leave it out this time. I cut a size 36, but I needed to trim down the skirt a bit. The pattern is FREE, and I'm sure I'll make it again. Next time, with a sleeve and a ruffle.

This is a butterick pattern, and I have to look up what number it is. The dress is pretty enough, but butterick patterns (and vogue patterns) just don't fit me like Burda. I'm not curvy enough, and I can't make a vogue or butterick without some serious altering.
Oh, and with the extra fabric from the green dress I made this adorable bag. And no, I won't wear them at the same time.

Wow!!! I'd need a year off and I still wouldn't get it right!! And the pattern is level too. Very impressive. And a very cute bag. Wherever did you get this talent from? Surely not me.
