My perfect vintage Xmas dress...











Just finished this dress in time for Christmas!

This is what I mean when I say I sometimes forget who I am. I can be so busy with my work and family life, that I sometimes forget what I love doing most in my precious spare time:

SEWING!


For this dress, it's the first time I made a toile first, but in the end I still needed to adjust the side seems on the final fabric.
I'm not sure yet if the toile making is something for me, that's why I can't wait to get started on the sew along here, where the use of making a toile first, will be explored further.
This dress is from a Burda pattern, but only with a skirt lining. I wanted to have a full lining in the dress, think that's way more comfy to wear. I used the original pattern to make the full lining, except for the sleeves.
It worked out perfect!!
