DIY V-neck Tiered Dress
Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts. I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses.

A lovely dress, beautifully made.

DeleteI really love your dress Hana. I've been gravitating towards this silhouette more and more. I like how this Burda pattern has the horizontal seaming near the waist...it really enhances the overall look of the dress.
