Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I would be lying if I would say that this is my first dress made by myself. It’s probably third, but after very long non-sewing period. So it feels for me like the first one. And for now, definitely most favorite of all my dresses.

thank you! I was looking for a floral fabric specially for this dress and was very happy when I found it :)

aha, thanks a lot for your answer!
I might try this dress for autumn if I don’t get around to it now. At the moment I cannot decide which pattern, which fabric, which style … so maybe it’s better to leave the scissors untouched ;)) best wishes

thanks! ;) um, to be honest I don’t know exactly how this fabric is called, but it’s something very close to light-weight crepe.

super, dvinare! looks like the perfect dress indeed.
May I ask how tall you are? I’ve got the pattern and I’d love to make it too but at 160 cm I always seem to get ‘swept up’ in wide dresses.

thank you!
I am also not so tall, only 8 cm taller than you, so I guess the dress would look similar on you ;) I also made some adjustments, around the waist it was too wide for me.
