Burda Style For people who sew
I downloaded this pattern and have questions. There are five size lines around the perimeter of each piece, but they are not labeled. What sizes are these?
Also, many Burdas do not have seam allowances, but this pattern does not say if it does or not. How do I find out?
Thanks!

Why don’t you try lining it? You could use a contrasting color to make the burn out pop.

Not sure which pattern it is you’ve downloaded but if it’s a Burda one, they never include seam allowances from what i’ve seen. The sizes usually work from 34 to 42 or 36 to 44 if it’s standard size (ie not plus size). If it definitely doesn’t say anywhere on the instructions which sizes they are, you could just measure one of the main pattern pieces and match it up with a sizing chart to find out.
