I was just thinking the Desira pattern would look great as a dress! Beautiful – I think I will try it myself with the fabric I was thinking of now…

I really like this dress. It’s a great idea to show beginners how to change a pattern in this simple way. This is also a perfect example of why tatoos are a very bad idea. Yikes, that looks awful.

Great project Burdastyle! It’s interesting to see how to alter patterns into new ones.

This looks great. And good for us nursing ladies who want to wear a dress occasionally. Why didn’t I think of it before!

Help me sewing girls… can I do this in a non-stretch with this pattern? Or is that crazy? I am thinking of a very thin, lightweight cotton. Would that work?

LOOOVE IT!!! I especialy like that it has some sleeves for those of us a little older, it can be hard to find cute dresses w/sleeves. I’m downloading it right now!!!
I’d love a version with butterfly sleeves, I don’t know how to do that, anybody?

Do I have to own the Desira and Jennifer patterns already? Or are they included in this download?

Ohh I’m really liking the variations you are offering on existing patterns at the moment, keep up the good work team. It’s nice to see how to draft a pattern into a new one, great photos and it’s a good experience and great learning for us all!

SO cute! Now… can we have a How To on how to petite-ify Desira for shorter torsos? My Desira wraps a whole inch and a half below my natural waist!
