Gertie is responsible for the successful design of this Malissa Variation. Thanks to her choice of stretchy material you don’t even need a zipper, even though the dress is way more fitted than our original version. We are really proud to present it as part of our photoshoot as a featured pattern combined with her how to. Look out for the BURDASTYLE Malissa Variation this Thursday!

This is too cute. I wasn’t a fan of the Malissa, honestly, because it’s the sort of look that really doesn’t work on me. But I really want to try this one!
