This is a dress made from burda 6/2009, dress 101. the pattern is made for knits, but i didnt have knit and i really wanted to make it, so i went a size larger and used linen. it worked out nicely :) i love it with boots!

yes! the knit version also has a zipper in the back, so just follow that instruction :)

It looks really great. I thing it is a great idea to use other fabric than knit. I have made this dress too, but in knit and believe me, I do not like it

Lookin’ great! I love it with boots too :).
I have recognized the pattern, and I prefer your version to the gray knit BWOF used in the magazine.

This dress looks incredible on you. Beautifully done! I’ve been trying to find a pattern similar to this for ages.
I looked for the pattern on Burda, but couldn’t find the reference you used. Could you let me know where to download it?
Thank you!!

hehe, thank you! I should have mentioned that they are in burda magazine! so they are not downloadable from online. do you have burda magazine in your area? if not you could try ebay or amazon!
