The dress from the cover is sized for Petites and, other than being a pretty versatile day dress, the standout feature here for me are those severe raglan shoulder seams, which really elevate the design. The real interest here is in the pleats at the inner elbow, and you’d definitely want to use a fabric with a bit of structure to make those give the sleeve a bit of shaping. This boxy, dropped-shoulder sweatshirt is rated “Super Easy” and it’s made even easier by having some illustrated instructions, too. I tend to just wear jersey long sleeved tops during colder weather, but I could be persuaded to buy some nice wovens for this! I’m not into the printed fabric they’ve chosen here (it looks way too much like pyjamas to my eyes!), but I really like the relaxed style, long sleeves, and that narrow collar. Let’s face it, everybody and their sister has released a shirtdress pattern, but Burda are showing there are still interesting touches to be had on what is a definitive classic garment (I mean, really, what’s the point of releasing a pattern exactly like everyone else’s?).

I know much of the USA is in a heat wave at the moment but in England it’s cooled off considerably so an issue full of Fall fashions is very welcome!įirst up is this gorgeous shirtdress. I’ve been away the past two weekends (in Iceland and at the Sewing Weekender, respectively) so I’ve not had much of a chance before now to sit down and really sink my teeth into the latest Burda edition.
