Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Gail is a more fitted version of the original Malissa pattern, however, you do not need the Malissa pattern to create the Gail.
For the glitzy set in we used a Guipure, but you can be as creative as you want here. Instead of Guipure just use any kind of lace or sheer material. Also, instead of making a full inset, you can add a wide trim to the neckline of the dress. We even thought about just adding a trim of feathers around the neckline and leaving it wide open over the shoulders.
In any event, there is lots of room to add your own party glitz to this version. We are so curious here, so please make sure to share your ideas and final creations!

I am loving these malissa variations. I really didn’t like the original pattern, but these creations have shown me what a little creativity can do. I had the same initial reaction to the anda pattern, until I tried it in a mini challenge, now it is one of my favorite patterns. Keep up the good work, these are great dresses.

wow, this is lovely, I especially like the buttons on the back of the inset! A how-to for it would be great….

Somehow it looks like a mix of Anda and Malissa. Not unappealing at all, not at all. I like the fascinator as well.

I am in love with this dress and wonder will it become a pattern for Burdastyle members to download???? Please tell me it will. ( I have already drooled over it and have pictured many fabrics made up in this dress)
