The Iconic Sewing Pattern: The Dress from Dirty Dancing
My iconic sewing pattern
The classic dress worn by Jennifer Grey, aka “Baby,” in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing is now available to make yourself as our iconic sewing pattern of the month! Flowing fabric, delicate beads, and a feminine silhouette come together in this elegant dress, which combines natural lightness with understated glamour. Designed as a sophisticated evening dress, it can also be reinvented as a modern wedding dress, or made in colorful fabrics for a bold and fresh summer look.
The time of my life !
The return of dance, driven by a desire for lightness and well-being, inspires a modern reinterpretation of an iconic, feminine, summery dress. Inherited from Dirty Dancing, it symbolizes transformation and freedom, embodied by Baby's famous twirling dress. Combining refined craftsmanship, a flattering cut, and delicate details, this dress moves with elegance and emotion.
Sewing for the Big Day
March is the perfect time to start sewing your most beautiful formal dresses with this collection specially designed for the happiest day of your life, for you and your guests.
Wedding dress 111 and Curvy wedding dress 122
Elegant and understated, the wedding dress 111 in sizes 36-46 charms with its long, close-fitting cut. We love the plunging back with crossed straps and a discreet slit for a refined look. The long, flowing satin wedding dress 122, available in sizes 46-56, charms with its simple bodice with thin straps, delicately topped with a refined long-sleeved lace top. A feminine silhouette is subtly emphasized by a grosgrain ribbon at the waist for a romantic and modern look.
The midi dress 109
Inspired by lingerie and nighties, the midi dress 109 has a beautiful flowing cut with thin spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical ruffle that elongates the silhouette. Feminine and contemporary, this women's dress pattern allows you to create an elegant piece for both everyday wear and special occasions, using lightweight fabrics for a chic and truly successful look.
High Fashion in Brown Shades
Brown tones are a sure bet for spring and gain elegance when adorned with subtle metallic highlights. From casual long blouses to coppery tops, these styles are perfect for mid-season.
The 110 B jumpsuit
This satin twill jumpsuit features a crossover top with a deep V-neckline and dropped shoulders for a feminine touch. The flowing legs and pleats at the waist create a modern, airy silhouette. This piece that can be styled in many different ways!
The 101 A top
The pattern pieces are highlighted in pink on the cutting board. The oversized 101 A T-shirt has a contemporary look and simplicity in all its glory! Its dropped shoulders and tapered cut towards the hem enhance the silhouette with a graphic lightness.
Freshly Dyed Denim
A fresh new look arrives in bright pastel shades: colored denim replaces classic blue and, paired with white and soft shades, creates modern, airy silhouettes. These fabrics catch the eye and enhance the most on-trend details.
The 117 jacket
A trendy pink hue and an oversized cropped cut: this denim jacket-style jacket captivates with its refined details such as a corduroy collar, a metal zipper hidden by a facing, tone-on-tone snap buttons, and tapered sleeves.
❤️ It's the favorite of the Burda Style editorial team, a stimulating sewing project that revisits a classic with color and character.
Blouse 111
With its V-shaped silhouette, maxi ruffles that structure the shoulders, and a tie belt, this top reinvents the summer T-shirt as a hybrid and ultra-stylish piece. Made from soft pastel neon green denim, it plays on the contrasts between volume and pop spirit. A sculptural design inspired by the 1980s, as spectacular as it is easy to wear every day.
Best Of Collection: Oversized Fashion
With its loose shapes and soft lines, oversized fashion gives your look a refined casualness, combining comfort and modern elegance. Far from rigid silhouettes, it favors loose, airy cuts for subtle sophistication.
Blouse 124
An easy, quick-to-sew pattern: this chic take on the T-shirt features a loose fit and gathered shoulders that give the fabric beautiful movement. The narrow sleeves elegantly balance the volume.
Sweater 126
Rather casual, this sleeveless sweater with a deep neckline focuses on simple geometric shapes, particularly the rectangle, which is at the heart of contemporary fashion. A timeless classic that is easy to sew and combines modernity with freedom of movement.
