  When I saw the Minna original I thought, “lower that neckline a bit and I’ve got myself a cocktail dress for the company Xmas party”. But the wonderful folks at Burda already did it. Sweet!

  I love this dress. I’ll probably try it as a top first since I don’t wear dresses very often even though I love them.

  I can’t see myself wearing this dress but it would maybe make a nice top

  Extraordinary! Never seen such drapery and it seems the pattern is perfect for further alteration. To the scissors, heat up the sewing machine. Summer will come and this dress is mine for the upcoming warm and tender breeze.

  I love it! I wish I had the exact same colors you used, but I think I can come up with something, I hope by New Years! This pattern is something I could not find in my full closet of Burda Magazines I have been collecting since the 90s, not even in the Italian “La mia Boutique”. Thank you and BRAVO!!!

  I’m pretty curvy, too, but I think this will be fantastic as a top, because I’m still nursing a baby, and the flowy-open bottom of the dress(that I will make as a top) will be great for hiding what no one needs to see while showing off the parts I like! Great colors on this one, too!!

  Cute dress, I’m just skeptical about how it will look on more curvy figures (like mine!).

  I can’t wait to try this one. Although I love dresses, they usually don’t love me back so I think I’ll shorten it a bit to make a top.

  I’m not usually one for deep V-necks and loose folds, but I love it anyway! And I’m loving the wide range of sizes.

  This dress is wonderful, the brocade trim is really striking, it lifts the dress making it look very rich – although this will also make a lovely summer sun dress too, I think I will need to make two versions – I cannot wait to give it ago! Well done -
