Copying Sonia Rykiel's spring 2016 using Burda 119 from July 2014

I was noticing a NYTimes fashion piece on Sonia Rykiel's shop today which included this photo:Notice the sundress on the right? I checked Rykiel's runway for this spring/summer collection and here is another version: So...whipping out my trusty ringbinder of Burda technical drawings going back years, yup, I found it and I'm certain that any of you could replicate this look in a day or two using Burda's similar dress from July, 2014, model 119, widening the straps, lengthening the flounce by maybe two inches? and skipping the elasticized waist.

I'm tempted myself, but first I have to finish cutting out a linen jumpsuit in sky blue.
More later!
