The “Parisienne” dress
For this challenge I planned a super creative idea to come to my mind. Well, it didn`t work. I went to Istanbul recently, so this would have been a great source of inspiration, but it didn`t come. So I took a boring and uncreative solution and made this dress, which has been on my to-do list for quite a long time. Burda called it “Parisienne” which means “woman from Paris”, there you find the city-connection. Moreover I haven`t been able to take nicer pictures due to the very poor weather in Germany.
On the other hand: I love it! I think it turned out very well and the fabric feels great, that`s why I didn`t line it (well, the other reasons are laziness and lack of matching lining in stash, but those aren`t official). And I finally got the perfect outfit to wear that super cute belt with.

I love your dress and that style is really ‘you’.
I can see why you were happy with the pattern. I looks very nice on you. I think your color scheme for the fabric and the background of your photos really told a story–a yummy one, like enjoying orange sherbet. Well done!
I had thought of this same dress as a backup plan, since I love Paris!
Great job, I love the fabric you chose!
Gorgeous dress! Looks great on you. I love the draping in the skirt front. :-)
Hi Lina, beautiful draping across the front, tres Chic!
What a cute dress! I love it with the belt and bow buckle. Very nice!
I love this dress. Interesting draping has become something I look for now on patterns. And these types are great in solid colors. Nice job!
