Description
We are very pleased to present our first Rockabilly dress pattern to you.
The great advantage of this dress has a perfect fit due to the elastics in the back side of the bodice.
We suggest to sew a trial of the front side upfront to achieve best results with the final fabric.
We wish you a lot of fun while sewing based on our Katjusha pattern.
Please share your results with us once ready. It is our own exitement to see Katjusha being sewed by the community as well.

Hi there, I love this pattern but I am having trouble sewing the bodice.
In what order to you sew the front, front face, and lining together? Do you sew the lining to the front face first, and then that to the front? Or do you sew the front to the front face and then the lining to that? And do you cut notches as well as clips?
Thank you and sorry, I am a novice.

My bust and waist would fit a size 36, but not my hips… will that matter for this dress?

I was wondering, how would I go about making the dress pattern larger?

I’m trying to figure the skirt instructions out: you cut it on a fold on both sides of the skirt? How is that possible? It also seems a bit small for only one piece to be cut on the fold, even for a size 34. Am I missing something?

Hello and sorry for my english but I’m trying to explain you.
This is a circle skirt. You must to carry forward the patern to obtain a circle (the skirt is in one piece). I didn’t know if I’m clear. With this methode, you obtain around one meter of straight (but you make fold when you make up).

Ahhh, I gotcha! You explained just fine, thank you! :)

Do you have a petticoat on in these pictures? It doesn’t seem like anyone asked the question. Thanks!

So I just finished putting the bodice together, and its all fitting wonderfully. So yeah, I stand by my photocopy enlargement method!
Aug 25, 2010, 07.28 PMby fabled
I made this pattern larger by printing it at home, then photocopying enlargements of each page at 120% on legal paper. I’m a 38 in size generally, and the pattern printed out again 1cm larger all the way around. If anyone has access to a photocopier this is what i recommend.

Hi, Also putting in my vote to have this patterned converted to a bigger size range if you have the time!
Aug 23, 2010, 12.37 AMby doctorwho-1
I love this dress pattern, but do you have any plans on making it available in different sizes? I am a size 38 (6 US wise), and I have tried making the pattern bigger, but it always turns out to be a disaster! The tutorial you provided doesn’t help me since it was made for multi-size patterns.

Sorry – we have no plans on making different sizes.
Read my reply to gillthecat concerning your question!

You can try on each side 1cm seam allowance to the existing pattern to make. and you can do something longer gums.
Priobier it out! it should work. If necessary, I would adapt it to the body more precisely.

Hi ladies – This is an adorable dress, I can’t wait to attempt it! As a novice sewer (VERY novice) it would be helpful if you had instructions available — is there a link to them somewhere? Thanks!!

@nehmah, just to mention: there is no blogsite. We both don’t want to make a blog or any other own web site. We are only here at BurdaStyle.

I do have one question; where is the instruction sheet? Is it on a blog site? I checked both the Printshop and home versions but could not find any instructions. Cordially, Nehmah Thanks for the information. I now have a .pdf- conversion of the instructions. It will be well-used. N

Nehmah, you are right! The button ‘get all instructions’ which is normally placed near the face book label at this side… seemed to be done away. Now you have to print each side form the instructions, one by one.
Thank you for letting us know this!
