Semi Completed Project: Burda 8995

I completed the dress portion of Burda 8995 today.  Still to be finished is the black short jacket topper.
My plan is to finish up the jacket next week.  I need to do a couple of little projects brfore that.  Then, back to my lilac fabric and vintage Butterick 4228.  I do like how the fabric complements this 1960s style sheath.


Please let me know what you think!

    Absolutely a great match of fabric and pattern choice! It's going to look really elegant with the jacket too.

    Love the dress and the colors, I think a black jacket would look great with it. Great job!
