wrinkled





dress - burda magazine 10/2014, #127

not much to say about this one
as i've made this pattern few times so far
(well, 5 times, to be precise)
and i love every single version of this dress
..
this time i used navy metallic linen 
and scraps of bronze linen for sleeves lining
and i love how metallic linen looks almost like leather
(irl at least, the dress is so damn wrinkled in photos
that you can hardly see that)
..
love this shapeless sack kind of dresses
i know it may not be the most flattering shape
but i still find it to be really elegant
plus it's super comfy and great for the heat

  3. `that fabric is gorgeous, and its a great dress on you. i love the wrinkles in linen and the more you wear the linen the softer and more shaped the wrinkles get.

    1. glad you like it :) i'm not too crazy about them, well about horizontal ones at least, but since i can not just stand every time i wear the dress, i'll have to get used to them..

  10. I love this! It's really cute! I've had a metallic linen/lurex/lycra blend in my stash for ages because I loved it but didn't know what to make with something stretchy and wrinkly! I may have to try a shape
