  I love everything about it. The color of the fabric, the belt, the sleeves. You look great on it! Just suits you well. As s novice, I’d like to venture on a challenging project, I guess I have found it.

  Lilo elainemay is right, the model in the magazine does NOTHING for this dress, I actually thought I won’t buy this issue (it’s just come out in my country) cos nothing really caught my eye, but I’ve reconsidered when I realised- hey Lilo’s dress is in here!You should send your pic to headquarters :o)

  Lilo, thanks so much for the great tips. I love love tweed. How come I couldn’t think outside the box.

  Elaine, I could imagine this dress on you in a bright colour setting (e.g. red, a jaquard woven red fabric for the dress and a matching plain red fabric for the details). I would also make the collar in the contrast fabric for you and shorten it a bit (above-knee length), I think that would look good on a small type.

  Jj, A nice not too thick tweed – so modern now – would also fit. Then you have an autumn/winter dress instead; a small warning though about the big collar, it’s difficult to wear anything on the dress (jacket or cardigan) because of it. So tweed with a plain contrast, no collar, just simply finish the decollete with a piece of contrast cut on the bias.

  i briefly thought about making this dress when i saw it in burda but then decided it probably wouldn’t look good on me. then i looked at yours again and thought “that really is so cute, maybe i should make it after all.” so i went to the burda website to see what sizes it came in and i have to say, looking at the photos, the dress is far more stunning on you than it is on the model! good job again!

  Thanks a lot, heartwarming to see so much so nice feedbeack! The embroidery at the waistline are my initials. The idea was to give that last golden touch to my self-made wardrobe.

  It is beautiful, I love the fabric you picked and the topstitching details look very professional. I particularly like the darker band at the bottom. Is that a signature embroidery below the waistline? Looks great.
