Description

I used the pattern from June 2010 Burda magazine after seeing the cute versions others have made. I added a couple of extra centimetres to the yoke to give more coverage. I put in the invisible zipper on the left side, although I don’t think it needs one as I can put on this top without opening the zipper. I used french seams for the back and right sides.

All up this was fairly easy to put together and really comfortable to wear.

    This is really lovely. This dress looks so much more finished with flattened pleats than with pintucks that go every which way. It’s so crisp, and I love that as a contrast to the airiness of the body of the dress/top.

    I have been wearing the dress I made from the same pattern during my whole week end! It is so comfy! I love your version! The print of the fabric looks so fresh!

    Really pretty. And I think the larger yoke is very flattering.

    Love the pleats, love the fabric, and french-seams are absolutely worth the extra time. Great work!

    The material matches the pattern so well! I would be adding centimetres to the yoke as well, I hate tops that come down too low.

    It’s really sweet! And that blue is such a great color for us fair-skinned gals. Nice work on the pin tucks and adding to the yoke, it makes a good difference :D
