Burda Style For people who sew
Jersey dress and a little Jacket

Description
This is one of my holiday dresses and it’s based on pattern #114 02/2013. I had to try this pattern because it seemed so nice on the picture in Burda magazine. I have used viscose jersey and it’s really comfortable to wear on sunny holidays ;)
The little jacket is from a German magazine My Image 02/2011. I have used lightweight wool and I wanted to have long sleeves so I used double fabric as cuffs. The buttons is just for decoration ;)
Material Notes
Viscose jersey for the dress and
100% lightweight woll for the jacket

Hello Beth! I think you should do that :) I like the style very much, so maybe I have to make a new one with long sleeves for the winter as well :-)

I like this model but have not done it yet, perhaps as a tunic with long sleeves Your dress is so lovely and you too.

Thanks a lot! I think a tunic with long sleeves will be perfect for this time of year, but you can also use long sleeves on the dress (if you like to have a dress) :) I like using dresses at work at winter as well with long pants or pantyhose :)

A really nice set, both the dress and the jacket. That dress has been on my “to-do-list” since last spring, but the fabric I want to use keeps pointing in the direction of a halterneck dress….

Ellen this is gorgeous. I made this dress as well in a patterned fabric. Your version is beautiful on you and i adore the we jacket. I love crop jackets boleros and shrugs and yours is simply fabulous. The buttons add to its cuteness. You look lovely x
