Thank you for the beautiful and versatile plus-sized dress pattern! I happen to be a lucky size 44 who can use almost all your women’s patterns. Yay!

Wonderful!!! I am a petite size 20 and 21… Do you think I could try to sew a plus size modell and it could fit me? I have always have that question… Sometimes I find such beautiful modells in my pattern collections in plus size…
Dec 22, 2017, 08.32 PMby jeankat
Hi, Cristty47 – I am very close to the height that Burda drafts its regular (and plus sized) patterns for (66 1/4"), so I don’t have any experience shortening patterns. I know that Burda does sell a few patterns drafted specifically for petites (63") and going up to US size 20. I think you could probably shorten a lot of regular plus sized patterns to fit, but I’m not sure Burda indicates shortening lines in their patterns. At least, I didn’t see any in the free dress pattern they gave us yesterday. I would take a look at the size charts, both regular women’s and petites, and see where your measurements fit best, including for length measurements (e.g. sleeve length, back length, etc.). Hopefully that might help you figure out if a particular Burda pattern will work for you. I have a very experienced sewing instructor that I can work with on specific issues. Maybe you could find someone like that, get them to help you take your detailed measurements, get their advice on pattern selection, and as needed, their advice on how and where to shorten the pattern for a good fit. Good luck!

Hello Jeankat thank you very much for your answer!!! I really appretiate it. I bought a kit that explains how to shorten regular patterns to petite sizes… So I think I can shorten the pattern… And also as I am right now a pettite 21 size… That is the equivalent to a regular 42 size… So… I will try to cut the pattern pieces for a 42 size and shorten them for a petite size 21 and see what happens… I need an experienced sewist to help me with some doubts I have… It takes me a lot to make each decision each time I am cutting the patterns lol because I still have many questions but I am learning in the process. Thank you for your advice and I like to hear that you have someone to guide you when you have a question… I will look for a good sewist… That really is the way!! Have a beautiful day and thank you again!!

You’re welcome! That’s great that you found that kit. After you shorten your pattern pieces, you can make a quick version in muslin to check the fit and adjust the pattern again if needed. That way you can get the fit dialed in just right before cutting into your good fabric. It’s more work, but it takes some of the decision-making pressure off, and you won’t end up with a garment that doesn’t work for you.
Dec 24, 2017, 03.39 PMby Cristty47
Dear Jeankat yes I’ve been thinking of making muslim version mostly of those patterns that use a lot of fabric… It is better to make corrections over a cheaper fabric until I get what I really want
Dec 21, 2017, 03.59 PMby Cristty47
Wow that plus size dress is adorable… Eventhough I am not a plus size I think it is beautiful… Also if you want you can modify the skirt and give it a new look… That’s great… I wonder if this pattern can be modified for a petite size 20 or 21…

Here is the guide:

I’m also Petite but in the regular sizes and I have even used a Tall pattern with simples lines to make it Petite, LOL! Good luck!

Also want to mention that Burda has had, once in a blue moon, Petite Plus patterns in the magazine but not in the last decade or so. Maybe the last one was 2005? Something like that. And of course there were the Petite Special Issues that lasted maybe 10 years.
Dec 24, 2017, 03.45 PMby Cristty47
Thank you for your answer Lakaribane. I will look at the link and put it into practice. Also your information about petite sizes and burda is very useful!! I am still learning to sew but slowly I am learning things each day that give me more confidence in the practice of sewing.
Have a blessed day and Merry Christmas
