Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My 12/2011 #107, with V shaped modesty panel and hand-picked lapped zipper. I shortened it 5" (after lengthening the bodice 2.5" for my bust + FBA), applied a 1/2" swayback adjustment, and instead of the recommended stitch-and-trim-close hemming treatment, I used a baby hem.
This is my first time working with a BurdaStyle magazine pattern (or any sort of Burda pattern)! More information at my blog: http://sometimessewist.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/its-a-birthday-burda/

Hei, I bought this pattern just now. What is the special presser foot that the guidance recommends? Im turning 30 soon too, but its for my bro’s wedding in august :-) planning to use a marine blue crepe satin.

That fabric sounds beautiful! I’m not sure which presser foot you’re referring to. What part of the dress is it used on?

Aww, shucks…thank you. I’m in the midwest US, so stealing may require some extensive travel on your part! ;)
