So, it’s not really a stunt dress. But it’s a dress, and it’s new, and I made it yesterday.
It’s Burda 7949 which I bought years ago and almost immediately afterward thought, why did I do that? Turns out it seems to have got better with age and I quite like it now. Not sure about the weird standing collar, but the square-necked version is good, methinks. I added length to straps (asymmetrically, since one shoulder is higher than t’other), skirt and bodice and tacked on some green ric-rac around the edges.
The fabric reminds me of traditional German Dirndlstoffe what with the dark background and stripey bits, and the shape itself is a bit dirndly. Pity about that deep inverted pleat in the skirt front, but it’s an artefact of the pointy midriffy bit.
So, ready for next project now!
Make it 'til you fake it 
Hoorah for chevrons!
And.. ric-rac! Or ‘ric-rac-ray’ as I swear we used to call it. Whatever the name, it makes the world a better place.
Oh wow! I love the back and the red facings. Gorgeous!
I’ve bought this pattern and it’s arrived just yesterday. I was looking for someone else’s dress made from this pattern and I’ve found you.
Let me say, I LOVE your dress, that fabric is absolutely wonderful.
thank you for sharing
