I am thinking of using a shimmery white fabric and making it floor length.If you love creating your own fashion and not just buying them from a boutique, this is the perfect read for you. I really love the white one from the Burda magazine, and I want to make one like it. Sleeve and shoulder seam view from the inside Sleeve and shoulder view from the outside Sleeve Length Conclusion Typically I finish all seams, but I left the sleeve seams unfinished in this case. Here are views from the inside, and outside. I removed 1.5” from their length, and did a 5/8” hem. I made the long sleeve version, and found the sleeves to be too long for me. I sewed the dart a little further down and that fixed my issue. I ended up ripping part of the seam, and following Burda’s instructions, and that was for the best.Ī small issue I encountered with the sleeve was that it stuck out a bit at the tip of the dart. Of course I rushed, and sewed the split before attaching the sleeves, and I also closed the shoulder seams. The sleeve is attached first, and then the shoulder and split sewn. The split on the cap is supposed to be sewn closed at the same time as the shoulder seams. There is an elbow dart, and the sleeve cap is split. Inside view of dress front, showing the lining. Here is a view of the inside of the dress front. It didn’t turn out perfect, but it looks ok, and nobody will know otherwise. The corner area is tricky, especially with that pleat fold being in the way. General Constructionįor me, the most challenging part was attaching the front bodice to the skirt. I used the same fabric for my lining, but perhaps a lighter fabric would be better. The two (main and lining) are basted together and treated as one piece through the process. The little yoke piece at the waist has a lining. I considered removing it, but ultimately decided to trust Burda and use it, and I am happy I did. I assume it is there to ensure the panel keeps its shape from spreading too much. The skirt has a little lining piece that attaches to the back of the left (pleated) skirt panel. Bodice Pleats Sewing Skirt Pleats Sewing Lining If you want to follow the way Burda and I did it, here are a couple pics to help you visualize. So after all, both ways work, pick which look you like best. After further examination of Burda’s original pictures, I determined that I fold them to the left from the front and sew on the back. Meaning the the folded pleat fabric was visible. I found a video, and on that dress they were pressed from the back and sewn on the front. I googled the pattern to see if I can find pics. So do I press to the left from the front and stitch on the back, or the other way around? The arrows on the pattern pieces point left, but instructions say to work from the back. It was a little confusing which way to press them. The bodice and left skirt panel have pleats. Well ok, sometimes zippers are a design feature, but not in this case. After all their purpose is to make it possible to put on and take off the the garment, but with this stretchy fabric it was easy to do so without a zipper. The Burda Style 110 12/2015 dress was not difficult to sew, and the instructions were good enough for me. So I knew it will stretch a lot, and I was right! At the end I took an additional 1/4” on the side seams and center back seam at waist, for a total of 1.5” overall reduction of circumference. I made a straight size 80, because I was planning on using a very stretchy medium weight ponte fabric with somewhat poor recovery. My measurements put me in size 80 for waist and hip and size 82 for bust. Burda Style Dress 110 12/2015 Sizing and FabricĪt the time of making my dress, my measurements are: B: 38”, W: 29”, H: 38.5” I didn’t alter the bodice in this case, and it turned out ok. I measured in a few areas on all three skirt pieces. The easier way to reduce the length was to measure up from the cut line on the pattern (or bottom hem edge). I am 5’4”, and I prefer my dresses above the knee. I ended up taking off 6.5” from the shorter length to make it knee length for me. It is a tall pattern and boy was it tall. The dress comes in two lengths as shown below. #Burda magazine 2015 pdf#I don’t own this magazine, so I purchased the pdf pattern from the Burda site (linked above). It is pattern number 110 from the 12/2015 issue. To continue my obsession with twists, gathers, pleats, and fun details of all sorts, I fell I love with this dress from Burda Style.
