We have had an unbelievable lot of fun and effort, but now we are ready.
We are really exited to present our latest project to you.
“Nadja” is the first self designed pattern of our vintage dress line.
It is available as free download for everyone as a contribution to the community.
We do hope that you will like it as we do.
Again it is a joined project of Immi and Apfelbluete, which has been
worked out and aligned via emails only. Feel free to let us know what you think about it.

elegant-impressions, would it be possibly for you to write instructions and I could translate them on google translate? If not I understand. I’m just considering making this for a wedding and wasn’t sure if I’d be able to figure it out. :)
AMAZING dress by the way. :) Y’all are great. :)
Thanks!

Hi DixieQueen!
Sorry about the missing instructions but we are both women who are working in full time jobs. We are glad if you understand that we don’t feel like writing instructions?!
Saw your etsy side – I am convinced you could figure it out, how to sew the dress! Try it, it is a simple basic dress pattern with this special collar and with cuffs.
There are some instructions to the elsa-pattern which is based on the same basic pattern – you could have a look!
Thanks for the compliments!

The dress looks fabulous. Have downloaded the pattern but the instructions aren’t with the pattern or on the instructions file. I’d love to make the dress so hope someone can point me to the instructions.

Hi spinebill,
we are glad you like the dress!
Sorry! We added no instructions because we are not native english speaker.
Here at BurdaStyle are a lot of related how-to’s which might be helpful?!

Thanks Febe! Nice of you to ask. Our next project ‘Elsa#1’ will be the size 42. If the demand of ‘Nadia#1’ is growing… may be we will make it in other sizes but I am sorry to say it will take time, because it is so much work and we are only hobby seamstress’.

I just recognized, that the Dress is only in 36… :O( Are you planing to make a mulisize pattern?

Just starting with ‘Elegant Impressions’ we will offer only our own sizes, which are size 36 and size 42.
May be you are able to reduce or enlarge the pattern?
