Metallic tops

Z is for Zazzy Metallics

Pattern: Burda 5/2002 mod.126

 Fabric: silver lame 

Alterations: This pattern requires two layers of the same fabric. I used lame for top fabric and cotton batiste for lining.

I don't feel comfortable wearing this top. This silver lame looks terrifying with my skin color. Perhaps it can be worn under a black blazer, but will probably end up on a bottom of the closet.

Better result I have achieved with a black organza fabric.

Fabric: black organza with gold dots

I love this pattern. It is perfect for summer top (camisole) with spaghetti straps. Certainly it will be again on my sewing list.

Ladylike Dress

L is for Ladylike Blush 

 Pattern: Burda 5/2014 mod.104

Fabric: cotton with elastane, lined bodice with cotton batiste

Alterations: Made the neckline less deep.Chosen fabric is too stiff and heavy for this pattern. Bottom part of the dress is so voluminous (full circle skirt) -too much for me.

Jumpsuit

J is for Jumpsuits 

Pattern: Burda 3/2010 mod.119

Fabric: black rayon jersey

Alterations: narrowed pants and omitted wide cuffs at the bottom.

 This is so easy jumpsuit pattern. I like how it turned out. With different accessories it could be casual or dressed up version.

Lovely interesting versions of this jumpsuit at Russian Burda Style site HERE.
