Burda Style For people who sew
Description
The pattern is from the May 2010 issue of Burda Style magazine (style #128). I love the details in the design, the pleats for the puff of the blouse, the part elastic casing to hold the sleeve in place, the notched collar and most especially the peplum. I used a Japanese cotton print with little pink florals and used fewer but larger than recommended buttons in pink. I like to finish the interiors of the clothes I make as well as I can so that I do not have to fuss while washing and the cotton was easy to do this with. I used French seams mainly. This is a cropped blouse and falls around the waist.
Material Notes
Japanese cotton, floral print. 4 buttons, elastic for the sleeves.

Beautiful blouse, nice sewing. This is my first time buying a BurdaStyle pattern. Why are there no instructions?

Hi Yvonne,
I used the magazine version of the pattern so am not quite sure how it is presented in the downloadable version. But is there a separate file for the instructions? The instructions are very brief with BurdaStyle patterns and there are no illustrations so it does take a bit of figuring out.

Shabby???!!!! you call this lovely blouse, “shabby”? Well then, I’d like to see what you call “chic”.

Actually, it is a shabby chic blouse:). Shabby chic is such a juxtaposition though. I kind of think of shabby for casual and chic for cool. Since this is the casual kind of shabby chic wear for me, I just named it shabby.

This is so pretty! I love the puff sleeves, the peplum and the fact that you took so much care with finishing the interior.
