Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I saw this in Burdastyle’s 6/2012 issue and had to make it. It’s pattern # 129. I cut a size 36 and I think I may take it in just a bit more around the waist after seeing the photos. Other than that, it came out fine I think. The simple style is so versatile and can be altered many ways I’m sure…with sleeves, shorter hem, etc.
Material Notes

DId you used the zipper in your dress? I think you don’t really nedd it because it’s stretch. Am I right?

I used a zipper because the pattern called for it and because I used a cotton that didn’t have the kind of stretch to just pull over my head.
If you are planning to use a jersey knit fabric which has a quite a bit more stretch then you may not need the zipper.

I see now that this is my favourite pattern in the magazine. Was it very hard to sew? I am beginner.

Not at all. You’ll probably be able to finish it in a day. Starting with simple cotton fabric would make it easier. And, you can easily make many of these in different fabrics once you get the hang of it.
