Burda Style For people who sew
Description
With a few fairly simple modifications, the JJ blouse can become the sugary confection we call the Dunja top, which is perfect for celebrating that the April showers have turned to May flowers. We used chiffon for the outer shirt, and a matching silk charmeuse for the camisole. The chiffon ruffles couldn’t be a prettier frame for your pretty face! Check out our instructions that explain the modifications you need to make with the JJ blouse, good luck, and have fun!

I’ve downloaded the JJ pattern but the .pdf doesn’t open. I have tried a few times on different days. Downloading always worked fine before. The same with the ‘Anna Boho Bag’ pattern which I cannot buy online. Please SUPPORT, hear me! I’m getting sewsick if I can’t make those two ;))).

does this pattern require the same amount of fabric as the JJ?

Thank you for the free how to! That’s so cool! I’m afraid the ruffle is not my style, I don’t dare wearing that! Or maybe I should first try it something similar in a shop to check it out :) But I would love to do the how-to just to do the pattern change, maybe I can change it the way I like it! I’m looking forward to everyone’s creations :)

absolutely LOVE this variation, it pleases on both sides of the equation: from a technical standpoint its a nice little pattern making challenge and from the fashion standpoint its absolutely HOT. And please PLEASE tell me the skirt shes wearing is a future pattern cause its soooo hot.

Oooh how lovely! This is one I have to make, and I have just the right fabric too. Now to find some lingerie snaps…

Love it! Smart design of the camisole (the button closure).

This is just so beautiful! Finally, something I actually really want to make. Like, now!

Cute! And free, yey, and based on a popular pattern (its pieces already assembled by many members), great choice :-)!

So sweet and elegant . I have to try this one out. It is a perfect summer blouse, I think. I love it !!!

So pretty! My grandmother had a blouse just like this, so I guess you could say it’s a vintage style.

Thank you Burdastyle (and JJ)! I’m feeling the excitement I’ve been missing for a while now when it comes to the Monday’s patterns. You took one of the most popular patterns here on the site and turned it into another beautiful garment, all for free. I like that. I bet there’s going to be a lot of Dunja showing up in the creations. By the way, I like that skirt as well.
