  I made this dress, it looks lovely – only a thing was that I had to reshape the neck… Has anybody found that sideway size was too small? I used quite stretchy jersey and I had to make it about 1.5 times longer….

  Malissa is much more versatile than you think. I made a (partly) homeknitted version of Malissa this winter! There is a bug in the system, so I cannot upload my finished project with the tag ‘I used a Burdastyle pattern for this’, but you can find it in my studio as ‘Malissa in Icelandic wool’.

  I’m going to make a cosy dress with stretch chenille, and knittet collar and armendings, and a applicated hart on the chest. I think that will be the perfect dress form the holidays

  Ooh! I really like this dress! I can’t wait to go home for winter break and make my own version of it! :)

  What brandi and rainbow said is correct, nevertheless it doesn’t answer the question stella asked. My answer is: i think the dress won’t suit you. If you make it too big it will look like a “sac”. Over sized clothes suit small frames better. I think you should go for something more form fitting like the ones with shaping for the waist and under the breasts.

  I am a size 36/38 and every time i went for this sort of model it looked terrible even though i have an ok figure: it made me look fat.

  Nevertheless, this looks pretty comfortable…so I’m pondering too…

  Wow! I can see it will be very difficult to keep the brown knit I picked up last week for its intended purpose. Great design!

  I second solas : I’m size 42-44 and I can’t tell, by the pictures, if that dress shape will suit me or not. Can’t there be sometimes models that are others size than 34-36?

  Love the dress, lots of possibilities there. I like the yoke part most. For model in size 34, I think that is normal too. They usually own A cup, I think, bigger than that have to model for Victoria Secret. I’m also size 34-36 depend.

  Hmm, now I’m really in doubt. I have some jersey lying around which I wanted to use for a cowl neck dress based on the Lydia pattern, but this one is looking quite tempting as well. I’d make it a bit shorter though, I think that would be more flattering. Anyway, it’s great to see the contest winner as a real pattern!
