Pattern Description: The pattern was for a wrap top, was planned to be made of thin knit fabric.
Pattern Sizing: 34-42, I took the 34 and it actually fit. Usually all Burda 34 pattern are too big for me.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Not at all. Mostly since I used a much thicker fabric. Since the pattern was a little big, my sleeves became lowered which looks very stylish, so I didn't fix them to be as supposed to be on pattern. I actually think that what I came up is much nicer then their original plan 
Were the instructions easy to follow? Couldn't understand the instructions at all, so I didn't use them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it was easy to sew and turned out a very special, stylish and interesting sweather tunic.
Fabric Used: Thick woven wool fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made it longer, and I didn't fix the sleeves to be higher as they should have been. As a result I had to fix the sleeves to make them lay flat. A very easy fix, pinned it on me and then cut the extras and sew.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would sew it again, but will use lighter material. I also love the collar, I can play with it forever and it lays differently every time. And always stylish.
Conclusion: A very interesting pattern, I wouldn't recommend using the material they suggested since it's too light and then the top has no shape, but using something thicker gives unexpected (in a good way) results. The pattern is easy to sew, and fun to play around to make something very special

Sleeves with the ruching appearance, the drop sleeve placement, and the back seaming--all very nice. Pretty color, too. Good fabric choice tip.

Wow! Very cute sweater! I like the idea of using a thicker fabric. Beautiful results!
