Description

This is the Mila #6023 dress without much variation. I lengthened it by 5cm to make it decent for my height and I removed the pockets because it added to much bulk and they were too small to put anything in them, anyway!

Material Notes

It costed me 10 euros for the two fabrics I bought at Toto's.

    HI! I am making this dress now but stuck on step 6. Can’t figure out how to stitch the placket to the front skirt panel…=(

    OMG u used a size 46? I’m a French 40 and I usually use Burda 38, is the sizing for this pattern really that off? could you post a picture of you wearing it so we can get an idea? i would hate to make a drastic sizing mistake.

      I’ll try to do it this week-end … but the sizing chart included is pretty accurate

    I want to make one soon and I’ll need to add some height as well. How does it fit over all?

      It’s close to the body but not too close … I guess it doesn’t help much but I’ll try to post a picture of me wearing it. Also I had to make myself a size 46 while I usually wear a US 10 or French 40!

      Wow, 46! That’s surprising. I am also a US 10-12 (depending on the brand) and I usually go with a burda 42 or 44 depending on the design ease. I was thinking that for this dress I would cut the 44 since it is closest to my really measurements and the dress is semi fitted. I would love to see a picture on you when you get a chance. Thank you for the information!
