The fabric is black with a multicolour boucle touch. Kind of 80s disco hype tamed down.
I sewn a dress using the model 123 from Burda 2/2008. I loved the great version Christina did - off course I cannot beat her owl fabric, which is just awesome. I did the blouse version for my sister but forgot to photograph it. It's pretty much the same but with larger collar and waist bands.
The bottom part is just two A line pieces without any darts the top width being my waist measurement.
All in all I will say it is very easy and comfy summer dress. Something that is quick to sew and quick to wear.
And to keep things fair here a photo with the dress and my other nephew and niece. Not easy to get the three of us looking at the camera... And actually I am just wearing the dress over my other cloths checking the fit...

The dress had its glamorous inauguration durig a phantastic concert at the Berlin Philharmonie last night.
Yes, definitely true! We listened to the Berlioz Requiem and the chorus was from atlanta - 210 people. 16 drums! 4 different brass orchestras positioned in the audience!
The dress did quite well.
What a great idea to turn that into a dress! Looks great.
