Chic LBD--2 way stretch knit

My daughter Maddey's first LBD, and my first attempt sewing 2-way stretch knit.

This was a fun challenge for me. I'm no slouch when it comes to conventional sewing, but using a serger is something I haven't done much of. Pretty proud of the results. The pattern was from Burda style magazine, published 6/2009, design #129. Edges of bodice drape pieces, hems on sleeves and skirt all finished with twin needle with allowances trimmed close to stitching. Fabric from the stash, of unknown origin--it was gifted to me from my late step-mother.

I bought mine from my local bookstore, but the pattern came from the issue put out in June, 2009. GLP International offers subscriptions, and I believe you can also order back issues.
