Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Another experiment with stripes. I had made a variation of this dress in a solid red, but I knew I wanted to showcase the unusual seams a little more. So I tried a stripe.
The entire dress is one piece of fabric. The only real “seam” is in the center back — everything else is a dart! The armhole and neck edges are bias-bound. The shoulders come together in an overlap, back to front (similar to the way the shoulders are in a baby’s onesie).
I’ve had a lot of fun draping and modifying this dress!

Wowwww! So great. A downloadable pattern would be awesome!

Waw! I’d love a downloadable for this one! It is so original and the stripes are incredible, I like how they are continuous lines and they help create the shape, visually, like in a sketch. Wonderful job!

Wow! Thanks everyone! I created this on a whim one night by draping some muslin on a dress form. I just kept folding and manipulating until it layed smoothly, marked it up and started sewing. It’s difficult to custom-fit, though, with no side seams and those darts being marked for a straight size 6 professional dress form. I did make a paper pattern of this after draping it, though, so maybe I can put that into some kind of downloadable format for you guys. I’ll work on it! If nothing else, I’ll make a line drawing of the pattern piece so you can see how crazy it is!

Wow! Really interesting technique. I made few skirts and simple dresses without side seams, using only darts. However, I never did something as interesting and as detailed as this garment. Bravo!

I’m also curious: how did you do it? Shaped it on the doll, or what? Is it a pattern, and when it is, how does the pattern look?

I really like it, both the fact that it is all shaped by darts, and that you have used a stripey fabric to accentuate it. I am also very curious about the pattern! Is it your own?

This is the coolest dress! I love the fabric and how you did all the darts is just incredible. I would love to know how long it took to sew this one. Happy sewing!
