  Hi, I love this dress, but really don’t undertsand the instructions. Could you help? What is meant by “Smooth out the rest of the fabric and press into the fold lines of the pleats. Measure off a 3” (8 cm) long edging from the last (lateral) pleat, and cut off the rest of the fabric. Fold the edge 1” (2 cm) inside and press, fold again and stitch. Fold the edging inside and baste at the upper edge” -what fabric am I cutting off. The instructions to this pattern are very poor, but I so want to make this for work.

    Thats exactly the part I didn’t understand so I drew a new pattern with a zipper… I’m sorry I can’t help you with that part. Maybe you should ask the Burda Style team? :)

  Looks gorgeous. I bet the wool fabric gives a very nice drape when wearing this!
