PATTERN

1 Front piece 4x

2 Back piece 2x

3 Front skirt panel 1x

4 Back skirt panel 1x

5 Shoulder straps 4x

6 Back placket 2x

How to lengthen and shorten pattern pieces:

Cut the pattern pieces along the marked lines

To lengthen , slide the two halves of the pattern piece as far

apart as necessary.

To shorten , overlap the two halves of the pattern piece as

far as necessary. Blend the side edges.

Fabrics: cotton fabrics

CUTTING OUT

FOLD (– – – –) means: Cut on the fold, the fold being the

center of the pattern piece, but never a cut edge or seam.

The piece should be cut double, with the fold line forming the

center line. Pattern pieces that are outlined with a broken

line in the cutting diagrams are to be placed face down on

the fabric. The cutting diagrams on the pattern sheet show

how the pattern pieces should be placed on the fabric.

The patterns can be printed out at the copy shop. If you

decide to print them at home, follow the instructions:

Paper cut for ANSI A (German DIN A4) prints:

The patterns are printed out on 24 sheets with a thin frame.

Wait until all sheets are printed out. Arrange the sheets so

that they fit together (see additional page with the overview

of the prints). Fold the single sheets on the upper and right

edge along the thin frame lines. Begin with the left lower

sheet and then tape the frame lines together precisely.

The cutting diagrams show the placement of the pattern on

the fabric.

For a single layer of fabric, the pattern pieces are pinned to

the right side. For double layers of fabric, the right sides are

facing and the pattern pieces are pinned to the wrong side.

The pattern pieces that are shown extending over the fold of

the fabric in the cutting diagram should be cut last from a

single layer of fabric.

ADJUST PATTERN SIZES

Select your size according to the Burda-dimension table:

dresses, blouses, jackets and coats according to the bust

size, trousers and skirts according to the hip width. Change

the pattern to fit your measurements if they deviate from the

Burda-size chart. Cut out the pattern pieces 1 to 6

according to your size.

Refer to our ‘Adjust patterns for mixed sizes’ technique

SEAM AND HEMLINE ALLOWANCES are included on an

average:

1 5⁄8" (4 cm) for hem, 5/8” (1 .5 cm) for all edges and

stitches. Using BURDA copying paper, transfer the lines and

signs of the pattern onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Instructions can be found in the packaging.

LENGTHENING OR SHORTENING THE PATTERN

PIECES

Our pattern is calculated for a height of 5’ 6” (168 cm). If you

are taller or shorter, you can adjust the pattern pieces along

the lines marked "lengthen or shorten here". This way the

proper fit is maintained. Always adjust all pattern pieces

along the same line to the same degree.

Sewing

While sewing, the right sides of the fabric are facing.

Transfer all lines of the pattern onto the right side of the

fabric using basting stitches.

INTERFACING

Cut the interfacing according to the cutting diagram

and press onto the wrong fabric side.

DRESS

Top piece

Gather front piece

1 To gather the front edge of the front piece double

stitch using basting stitches. Tighten the bobbin

threads to 3” (7 cm) width. Knot threads. Distribute the

width equally.

FRONT CENTER SEAM

2 Position the front pieces together, right sides facing.

Stitch the center seam using a narrow stitch

adjustment. Stitch over the gathers. Do not stitch over

the allowances at top and bottom (arrows). Secure

seam ends. Press allowances apart. Open the basting

stitches. Do that for both pairs of front pieces.

RIGHT SIDE SEAM

3 Position the front and back piece together, right

sides facing. Stitch the right side seam (seam number

1). Stitch the right side seam of the inner front and

back piece as an mirror image to the dress seam.

Press allowances apart.

DOUBLE TOP PIECE

4 Position the top pieces together, the side seams

meeting. Pin the top edges together and stitch. Trim

allowances. Turn top piece. Pin open edges and

press. On the right side of the fabric, stitch along the

center front seam.

PLACKET / SHOULDER STRAPS

5 Position the interfaced placket and interfaced right

shoulder strap together, right sides facing. Stitch right

side seam (seam number 2). Stitch the side seam of

the non-interfaced pieces as an mirror image. Press

allowances apart.

6 Position the interfaced and non-interfaced piece for

the right shoulder strap together, right sides facing. Pin

the long edges together and stitch. Trim allowances

and snip in. Turn the piece using a safety pin (6a). Pin

the edges and press. Stitch the pieces for the left

shoulder strap accordingly. Turn strap, pin edges and

press.

7 Pin the placket with shoulder strap on the top piece.

It meets the seam line. The right side seams meet.

The shoulder straps overlap the top piece. Topstitch

the placket narrowly on both sides. Topstitch the

shoulder straps narrowly; then neaten the open strap

ends.

SKIRT / RIGHT SIDE SEAM

8 Position the front and back skirt panel together,

right sides facing. Pin the right side seam (seam

number 3) and stitch. Neaten allowances and press

apart.

TOPSTITCH TOP PIECE

9 Gather the top skirt edge double stitch it using

basting stitches. Tighten the bobbin threads to the

width of the top piece. Knot thread ends. Distribute

the width equally.

10 Position the top piece on the top skirt edge (seam

number 4), right sides facing and centers meeting.

The right side seams meet. Topstitch the top piece

narrowly, but leave an opening at the center front.

Trim allowances, neaten and press inside the top

piece.

ZIPPER (hidden)

The zipper will be applied in a way that the seam

edges cover it up. The zipper should be slightly

longer than the opening. It will be applied before

stitching the side seam below the zipper. Stitch the

zipper using your sewing machine’s zipper foot.

Neaten the side edges.

11 Open the zipper and pin it with its right side onto

the allowance of the opening edge. The little zipper

teeth are positioned on the marked opening edges.

Then stitch the zipper using the zipper foot, closely

along the zipper teeth line. Do the same with the

other side of the zipper (11a). Stitch both sides from

the top to the opening sign (arrow). Since the little

teeth have the tendency to roll up the zipper foot

keeps them flat. Close the zipper. Turn the strip ends

over the allowances. Turn the allowances inside and

sew by hand (11b).

LEFT SIDE SEAM

12 Position the front and back piece together. Stitch

the side seam from the bottom to the opening sign.

Pull the zipper slightly. Secure seam ends. Press

allowances apart.

13 Neaten the bottom edge. Turn the edge inside and

press. Topstitch the hemline now ½” (1 cm) wide.

Work two button holes into the back placket; 3” to 4”

(8 to 11 cm) next to the center back. Accordingly,

apply the buttons onto the shoulder strap ends. Try

the dress on and adjust the shoulder strap length as

needed. Button the shoulder straps.
