Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this for the summer. It’s kinda short and a bit tight in the bosom (I’m a 34B so that’s weird but I’m 5’9" and didn’t adjust the length which explains the length issue). I like it a lot. It’s supportive enough that I can wear it sans bra which is fun.

I want this dress lol! I love it…Inspiring me to make myself a yellow dress, but being pregnant it would be hard to make it so it would stretch with my growing stomach :( x

I want to make this really bad. I’ve never really used a pattern before. I also want it longer. Aaah! I think I’m going to have a lady from my church help me. That would be nice. :]

love the dress in this color, but just a heads up… i think your nipples might be visible sans bra.

I love this pattern! and the yellow is a good color too. It looks great. In Bakersfield that would be a great dress to wear for the summer.

That looks great! I have also been making summer clothes, which is completely useless when its 30 degrees out…it looks great on you and I think I might make one as well!

skarinja, awesome dress! I love this pattern, I thought that one good day I’m going to make a top out of it. Do you think it will fit A cup without any cup alteration?
By the way, I’m old enough to be your mom and I live a few blocks from you. My house is on Winding Way, just behind Gregory school!

this is really cute i love the fit. i am also 5’9" so sometimes i add a band to the bottom when i dont feel like messing with the pattern. this also makes a little more your own. i really like the yellow. nice job.
