A Knit Maxi with Handkerchief Hemline - BurdaStyle 03-2015 Number 122

It only took me five years, but I sewed this FABULOUS knit maxi dress from the March 2015 BurdaStyle magazine. This was one of the designs I immediately marked when the magazine arrived at my home five years ago. I don't know why it took me so long to finally sew the dress. I think I was just so busy with work during the day, and teaching Zumba classes in the evening, that my sewing time suffered. I'd pull out my stack of BurdaStyle magazines every nine months or so, and bookmark what I wanted to sew. Sometimes I'd change my mind on designs I had marked previously, but never on this maxi! It is dress number 122. While it's a bit of a fabric hog, it's quite the flattering design. I thought the way it was styled - with the athletic shoes - was cute. That is why I'm wearing my rose gold (leather!) athletic shoes with my maxi dress. Comfy, cute, and trendy. Although can you say it's a trend when it's been a "look" for the past five yea
