Burda Style For people who sew
Description
After I created the slopers (see previous project) the next step was to try and make something out of it. I decided to make a pattern for a simple A-line sleeveless top. Should not be that difficult, right?
So, here I will describe all the steps I took to create this top. From drafting the pattern, to basting, to making modifications. I will not go into sewing details, as the point of this project is patternmaking, but in terms of sewing this should be a simple project.
Let me know what you think, what I missed, what I did wrong…

Yes, you should be able to to that. Adding length should not affect the fit in the bodice. However, it will be wide at the hemline, obviously, the longer the dress, the wider the hemline. If you wish to narrow it a bit, without affecting the overall design, you could take in 2 cm at each side at the hemline – the pattern hemline, not the new one after lengthening.
