Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this dress with a silky fabric on top and linen for the skirt. I love how it came out except I dont feel so confortable wearing a dress so low cut in the bust. This pattern is perfect for someone with an A or B cup.
Material Notes
Linen and silky flower fabric

I think this is great – I really like it made into a dress, and you look fantastic in it!
I think I may give this a go, thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone for nice comments. I guess showing a little bit of boobs is not the worst thing but I kinda feel like I want people to say, “Oh isnt that a pretty dress” and not, “hey! That sure was a low cut dress”. Anyway. There I am wearing it. Camilaustral, Thanks for the suggestion. I’m making another Tara and I am going to try it. I really like this pattern and I hope everyone tries it.

you look awesome! the fabric is very pretty, and if you think its too revealing you could sew a triangle in a light fabric to cover little ;)

I think it looks great on you, not too low cut at all. I like the color combination of the lower and upper part. Very nice!

i like it! i think it’s a perfect fit and it suits you very well :) i was also thinking that next time i’m using the Tara pattern, i’ll make a dress out of it instead of a top. your creation assured me that it WILL look that good ;) well done!

I can understand you, I also don’t feel very comfortable with low cut tops, but you know, what’s wrong with it? I think it looks great on you. And you yourself are looking from the wrong angle on your d

Oooh! I thought it looked very nice on you… And I was worrying it would look horrible with my small cup having such a low cut top (two options: just plain skin = nothing to see or everything popping out!) and thought it needed a fuller bust! So let’s just exchange thoughts!
