I think mine was too long and didn't stretch enough, but I'm not sure. I might have to pick up this Burda pattern! Thanks! 6/2/08 3:48 PM

Vintage Joan said... So pretty! Thanks for reviewing this pattern -- I was thinking about getting it, and now I'm definitely going to. 6/3/08 8:55 PM
Phisch said... Wow, thanks for the comments, folks! I have enjoyed wearing it (compliments truly matter when my hubby makes them, you know? ;). It was really easy to do. I got over the zipper fear by not making it so invisible. It looks just fine especially since it's been 3 years since I have done any sewing (or at least since my last review). I'm pretty pleased with it and am itching to leave the house and head for a fabric store. 6/4/08 8:33 PM

Mufffet said... Love your dress. the color is very zingy! Good work. That neckline wanted to gap when I made this too and I stretched the fabric a bit while sewing the binding so that it wouldn't do it as much. the woven materials are kind of stretchy on the bias so this worked. 8/17/08 2:37 PM
