Since I have been sewing with Burda patterns for over 30 years and at 5ft 3inches and short waist-ed I have always just removed an inch from the waistline length of any of the fitted style patterns from Burda and it always seemed to work. There seems to be less choice in the petite range.

I love this dress and the fabric. The finished projects illustrate that this is a very versatile pattern. Time to clean out the closet again…

I don’t understand the sizing 17, 18, 19 etc. I don’t see that sizing on the size chart?

I think the sizes 17-21 are shorter patterns to fit shorter persons better. I am not sure though. I don’t see them in the sizing chart but I am pretty sure they are explained in the magazine.
Sorry, I can’t be of better help.

These sizes are for petite women (160cm and shorter). Basically, all the measurements, with exception of height, are equal to the normal sizes. So, size 17 corresponds to the size 34, 18~36, 19~38, etc.
If you’re not petite, you should alter the pattern a bit to lengthen it (compare the following lengths as a reference: shoulder to bust, bust to waist, waist to hip, hip to knees, etc.)
On the other hand, there are special sizes for tall women that work in a same way: size 68 corresponds to the size 34, 72~36, 76~38, etc.

Yes, they are Burda “Petite” sizes. They are in our sizing chart, in the women’s section. http://www.burdastyle.com/statics/size-chart
