Burdastyle Charcoal Modal Cotton Cross Over Long Crop Dress

I made this dress for my trip to Europe last year. I heard Euro­peans wear pants and long dress­es, so I made the dress long with side slits.  I did­n’t take pho­tos of the dress in Europe, but I grabbed a few pho­tos when I wore it to a din­ner & dance last May. I don’t like tight dress­es so I made size 38. (I nor­mal­ly wear size 36.) The shoul­ders were a bit too wide...

Blush Pink Lace and Silk Cotton Easter Dress for Izzy

easter dress blush pink silk lace

I loved cre­at­ing this cus­tom ordered East­er dress for Izzy!  The dress is made with pink lace and lined (& under­lined) with blush pink silk & cot­ton fabric. This dress looks pret­ti­er in per­son than in pho­tos. The pink is light with a peach col­or undertone.  I rarely wear pink, but I would def­i­nite­ly wear this pink col­or and dress style! Lined and under­lined with beau­ti­ful silk cot­ton fabric...

Happy Mother’s Day

Ukrainian floral green girls dress with pin tucks peter pan collar

Every year my mom says she does­n’t want any­thing (except a clean house) for Moth­er’s Day. So this year, I took the flo­ral and white eye­let fab­ric she bought (which remind­ed her of Ukrain­ian scarves) and made her grand­daugh­ter a dress! Hap­py Moth­er’s Day Mom­cha! Thank you for all your love & sup­port! I love you! Dress Details: ~Cot­ton Flo­ral Fab­ric (about 1 yard used) ~White Cot­ton Eye­let Fab­ric for Peter Pan Collar ~Back...

Custom Pieces for My Nieces

burdastyle 147 09 2013 Dress Red Blue Floral Cotton Dress Girls Summer Spring button down

Here are a cou­ple dress­es I made for my niece Gigi and my (not-yet-here) niece (which I’ll call) “Kiki.”  My sis­ter snapped a few pho­tos of Gigi in the dress­es. (The dress sizes are 12mos and 6mos, so they are a bit big on Gigi.) I used Bur­dastyle’s Baby Pat­tern #147 Dress 9/2013 for the dresses. The beau­ti­ful flo­ral print dress is for Kiki. I absolute­ly love this dress! This design not only fits...

Preparing for Easter 2014

This is by far my least favorite time of the year. Between giv­ing up dai­ly plea­sures dur­ing Lent, doing tax­es, and the gloomy weath­er, I dread March and ear­ly April! Despite all these things, there’s one thing that does light­en the mood…sewing my 2014 East­er dress! Again I’m design­ing an East­er dress inspired by my babcha. This time I’m using some of her old fab­ric rather than spend­ing count­less hours doing...
