Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I fell in love with this pattern at first sight!
It is Burda 8/2011-125.
The difference is that I drafted longer sleeves (but then cut them away), inserted the zipper in the back and thus the collar is opened in the back.
After 3 rounds of fitting – I so love this dress!!!
You can see the fitting process here .

Your dress is so lovely and you look beautiful in it. I have just looked in my magazine at the original and I would have completely ignored it if I hadn’t found your photo in BurdaStyle. Thank-you!!

Your dress looks great! Did you modify the collar in any way, other than to split it to add the zipper?

Thanks!
Yes, I actually folded the collar in half and then stitched it down. Forgot to mention that, sorry. In the magazine it is attached only by one side.

it’s so cute! i loved this pattern too & thought about making the sleeves longer. why did you decide to make them shorter?

Thanks!
Oh, in the rush to cut the pattern out I forgot to actually lengthen the sleeve pieces, heh. After putting them together I added another piece at the bottom of the sleeves but it looked bad, and since I didn’t like the above elbow length I chose to cut them shorter.
