Sometimes you feel like you hit a sewing home run - which is what happened to me with my second version of Burda 7808 - View B with View A's collar. (Click here for the 7808 View A post) Even though it is a 3 dot difficulty pattern, it is easy to sew and especially sewable when you only have bits of time available. Lately I've been waking early and sewing (and photographing!) in the morning before the day gets started full blast.
The dress just felt fun to wear today. I love the pockets, too.
Cost to make: Less than $8; even with the 16" zipper. The fabric was a dark navy or black and white micro weave shirting with some oomph to it, discovered in Jo-Ann's Red Tag section for $2/yard. Not bad.
