Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Pattern Kwik Sew 3760. So I had a bit of trouble with adjusting the length in the waist and cut too much from the bodice. Well, this turned out to be a happy accident, as I LOVE the houndstooth fabric I added to make up the difference. Plus it has way more give than the blue, which is great to have around the waist. I’ll also admit that there’s puckering around the front interface/flat collar, but you can’t see it in these shots. I typically just hide it with a large pin and no one can tell.

Material Notes
Thin blue cotton, indigo/white houndstooth knit. This pattern is really best with a little stretch, so look for material that gives a bit.

Thanks! Yes, blue is probably the best on me, but it’s so much more fun to vary colors in your wardrobe. I really love chartreuse so I try to slip that in when I can.
