Description

This little outfit is the perfect in between season piece. I like wearing it with a turtle neck or a little cardigan if it is too cold, otherwise just bare for warmer times. The pleats are created so that if made in a lighter but stiffer material, the skirt will puff slightly. Try it in a seersucker for the spring or, like our examples a colorful plaid wool which is perfect for late winter/early spring days.

Materials

Plaid wool, big plastic buttons, zipper

    Does it work with A cup or Burdastyle team altered the pattern to fit her, I wonder... By the way, I LOVE the jumper!

    stoked about flickr up for swap!

    Yeah I'm in love with that fabric too- the colors are so rich and gorgeous- any chance we could find out where it's from/what brand it is?

    I agree, the fabric here really makes this dress great! I'm thinking "rainbow plaid" would be an appropriate search term.

    I'd cahnge the front to be a bit higher though, and the straps a little more inwards.

    While I love the fabric it's hardly ever warm enough here to wear something like this and from experience I know that it would be hard to get a Burda pattern like this to fit an A bust (which is too bad as it would look great with a small cup size as we can see on the picture)

    This is made to fit a very small or larger bust. As a matter of fact, the top is made so that you could make it out of stretchy material, but if you want to make it tighter, make it out of a woven and you will see that it will fit an A cup. It is also easily adjustable on the sides and the mid bust seam. I am glad so many of you are liking it. Furthermore, we wanted to let you guys know that we are about to start linking to fabric sites, so that you guys are able to buy the fabrics we are using. This will not work with all but a lot of them. Thanks for posting that link Sabrina, feel free to email us too, whenever you find fabric that looks like one we used or that would work well for a garment. Thanks everybody for all the great responses!

    sewing ALL DAY LONG

    very excited to buy this pattern soon as i am home! thanks benedikta for the thumbs up to us A cups. i always swim in burda tops, it's so helpful to know that before diving in.

    i have a wish: it would be lovely to see a little breakdown of what size was used on the models for each pattern, and maybe if you did any adjustments. pretty please?

    needs ideas for Bambi dresses

    Oonaballoona, that is an excellent idea! I will most definitely do that going forward. For this particular one I used a size 34. The top part is fairly small, because it is made so that it also works in stretchy material. I have not made any adjustments to it, but have to say that even though I am a 34/36 in most patterns myself, this one fits very tight on me on the top. I don't know the measurement of the model, but I think that would maybe be something interesting for you guys in the future too.
