This was the first Burda style pattern I tried. I had to do a bit of adjustment on the sizing not being familiar with the Burda fit. I added a wide hem to make the skirt balloon a little and the dress more fitted overall. I also left out the sleeves as it was for summer.
It was actually meant to be a trial run but I was really happy with the outcome and have worn it loads!
(sorry about the dark pics!)
