Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I am launching a new line of sewing patterns, called Stepalica Patterns
This dress is an original version of the Nougat dress series (variation #2 and variation #3) I’ve been posting over here.
Bellow is a pattern / dress description. For more details about the pattern and purchase options, please visit my blog Stepalica
Nougat is an elegant and feminine dress, with a fitted bodice, flared skirt and asymmetrical waist yoke. It is given in three variations to accommodate different sewing skill levels.
Views A and B are intended for those who like sewing unusual, challenging patterns. The twisted diamond on the bodice is an eye catching detail that adds some drama to this flowy dress. If you’re in the mood for „sewing a puzzle“, view A gives you all the elements you need – numerous pieces (the shell consists of 44 pieces!) to assemble and seams to match. Use fabrics in contrasting colors or prints for the best visual effect.
View C is intended for the ones with less patience or skills. But have no worries, the unusual seaming and bust darts on the front will result in an interesting dress.
Nougat makes a perfect special occasion dress. With a blazer or cardigan, it easily transforms into an office-appropriate garment.
Sizes: 32 – 44 (all sizes are included in one pattern)
Skill level:
View A, View B: advanced
View C: intermediate
Difficulty
Advanced

When you have a small chest, like I do, you appreciate all the help you can get :D. View C, or Views A and B can be made without the gathered diamond. Instead of it, the dress can have a plain diamond inset, which doesn’t add any extra volume to the chest.
Thanks for the nice comment and sorry for the late reply!

This is beautiful!!!! It would have been cool to add a variation that didn’t include the structured diamond too for those of us who also like the look of the bias swirls.

Thanks! The pattern can be easily altered to the look you mentioned. Feel free to visit my blog, where you can see how the bodice pattern looks. I believe it would take you 15 minutes to alter the bodice.

Thanks for both – the comment and the link note. I’ve corrected the link, and it should be working now.
