Last week was unbelievably crazy for me.. I just came back
from Berlin and very spontaneously ended up on a trip to the island of Brač (Croatia) three days later..
Just five of us, packed in one car, were
on our way to spend the best May 1 ever.. I had very little time to prepare
myself for this adventure.. To be more precise, only day and a half.. I was
with
Mokosha in our workshop, working on my April project for Burda Challenge
2015, when the decision to travel to Brač was made.. When I realized that I’ll
spend next couple of days by the sea, I stopped working on challenge and
switched to a new project appropriate for the seaside..
I knew exactly which pattern I wanted to use, but I had to
find a perfect fabric from my stash.. While I was in Berlin I bought
Burda Easy SS15.. I’m in love with all variations of pattern #4 and I’ll probably make
them all at some point.. My first make is
#4C, very simple loosely fitted
summer dress with V back.. This is one of the easiest dresses I ever made.. There are no bust, or any kind of darts on the bodice and the skirt is made of two gathered rectangles.. The fabric I used is lightweight cotton with tribal
print, very sheer.. It was one of those good remnant bin finds.. I had two
pieces of the fabric, which made pattern matching easier.. The dress is fully
lined with white cotton fabric.. Since both layers are very light, this is one
of those dresses I will wear often during summer.. And summer is already here in
Belgrade..

For May 1 we made a road trip around Brač.. We went to lovely town Milna
for grocery shopping, visited the best known beach Zlatni Rat and tried to find
an alternative way back home.. Mokosha did a great job capturing all the fun
stuff we did there.. I’m trying not to bore you with photos.. The most
important thing is that we had great time there and that for the first time I
get why people love going to the seaside.. For that I have to thank Matija for inviting us to this adventure :x (or maybe Franziskaner did all the magic)

DeleteYour dress is beautiful and the road trip looks so fun!
ReplyDeletethanks :) the road trip was more fun than I could show you ;) brač is simply amazing :D
DeleteWonderful style! This is the perfect summer dress with the large v on the back an this awsome print. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletethanks :) I don't think that on the back is that large.. I wore this dress only with swimsuit, but I think it could be worn with a bra too..
DeleteOH, fabulous summer sundress! I love the photographs too!
ReplyDeletethanks Sue :)
DeleteWow! I love that dress! Great choice of fabric!
ReplyDeletethanks :) I'm happy that I have finally used this fabric for something.. I hope that I'll manage to make a top or two with scraps I was left with ;)
DeleteAwesome fabric, dress and scenery!
ReplyDeletethanks Kate ;)
DeleteVery cute, and sounds like an amazing trip! Love the lightweight cotton and loose fit!
ReplyDeletethanks :) it was an amazing trip :D
DeleteLove your dress! Is this pattern only in the burda magazine and has to be traced? Is it available anywhere else?
