Robe C. by MyDress-Made
NB : C’est moi qui fait office de modèle, ma soeur n’étant pas disponible pour jouer la mannequin ce jour ainsi la robe correspond à ses mesures 😉
J’ai ainsi volontairement supprimé les manches pour bien dégager les épaules ainsi que les poches (en cours de route car elles fournissaient un effet trop “bouffant” et amplifié par l’épaisseur du lin). Ce dernier point m’a valu de revoir les plis au dos pour cintrer de manière optimale et surtout de bien faire concorder l’avant et l’arrière de la robe.
Cette robe demande de la minutie et nécessite une obsession permanente de la concordance au regard de la multitude de pièces : bustier (8 pièces incluant la doublure) et raccord à la jupe particulièrement sur les côtés.

Robe C. by MyDress-Made
I like to design for me but also please … My sister asked me to make her a dress for an upcoming wedding, as a birthday gift.
The brief : “A sleek dress that looks like me!”
I thought long time to a pattern that would value her strengths, mainly his chest and legs. My choice fell on the Burda tulip dress, published last May, a beautiful base to feel free to creativity.
NB : I made the model for shooting photos, my sister isn’t available this day thus the dress matches totally to her measurements 😉
Level : Advanced – Timing : 8H – Cost: € €
I modified this pattern to make a custom piece and consistent with desires and the morphology of my sister. Also, the choice of lin fabric has contributed to these developments for optimal fit.
To meet the sobriety while being “different”, I opted for a curved strapless neckline including a medium lowcut neckline with a well low cut back, created from scratch.
Well stand for the size and value 2 main folds (skirt), I had idea to add a silver faux leather piping (hand sewn for maximum accuracy). This tip also prevents the quest for a matching not always easy to find belt.
I voluntarily removed sleeves to properly clear the shoulders and also pockets (by the way as they provided an effect too “bulky” and amplified by the thickness of flax). This last point got me to revisit the back pleats to bend optimally fit well and especially the front and back of the dress.
This dress needs attention to detail and requires constant obsession concordance regarding the multitude of pieces : Strapless (8 pieces including lining) and fitting skirt especially on the sides.
Tips :
Strapless: For a perfect fit bustier, it is indispensable to double front and rear whatever form you have chosen (and even more if you opt for a ds indented).
Bent skirt back: I realized all 3 pleats all 4 cms to achieve a good balance and harmony of forms.
Pattern : Robe 109 – Burda May 2014 – 6 € magazine
Fabric : Stop tissus (Paris 20th) – 80 inches x 60 inches (10 €) – France Duval Stalla – Leather piping silver 24 inches (2.50 € / 40 inches).
J'aime beaucoup le bustier original de ta robe, il est beaucoup plus seyant que celui proposé par le magazine.
Est ce celui d'un autre modèle? Il m'a vraiment séduit!
