I love the styles of Burda patterns. I'm glad to read about people using them. Your blouse must have looked good!That's a really interesting blouse.

I am hooked to Burda Patterns. They fit me so well. This blouse is stunning. Would love to see a photo. What fabric did you use?

This blouse is so lovely. Susan, thanks for the review and thanks for the inspiration. I think there's a similar pattern in a recent Burda World of Fashion, and guess what, it's in my reading pile!

I used to have an old Nipon pattern with a front closure like this. Fearing, justifiably, that it would be a bit 'drafty,' I just inserted a doubled strip of fabric (kind of like a fly underlap) into the seam, so that the hooks and eyes would close on top of that. Worked like a charm.

You have convinced me to purchase this pattern. It looks great and it sounds like it will be quick to make. Thanks so much for the review.

Deepika - Sorry, I'm not a fabric expert. My best description would be to say it is all cotton, stretchy and doubleknit. When the facing was added, it became a little thick - while still being an acceptable weight - probably not optimal.. The next fabric I am using is a very light cotton paisley - so far that seems to be working out better because the ruffle is falling VERY nicely.

Diane - Yes I saw that one too, after I had ordered this. It has buttons instead of the hooks. Another pattern that is similar that I haven't tried yet is Neu Mode 22840. Elona - what a great idea, i think I'll do that if the hooks don't work out on the lighter fabric..Thanks!

I've made this one in a woven fabric that was probably a little heavy for this pattern. I found the elbow length sleeve to be a little restrictive at the elbow. It's fine as long as I don't try to move! ;-)

Very stylish! I'm looking forward to seeing the pix!

I have this pattern! Just need to pull it out and use it now that I know the scoop! Thanks for the review.

Susan, I like your rendition of that blouse better than the pattern pic. Yours looks like it has better shaping to it. Thanks for the review.

What a beautiful blouse! Is that snow I see out your window??? If so, I am extremely jealous.

Susan, that is just beautiful! I agree with Dale that yours is even lovelier than the pattern picture. That fabric! Oh!

Both versions are wonderful. I like those ruffles. You did such a nice sewing job on them too.

I think that this blouse just has to be my next project. I have the pattern and fabric in my stash just waiting it's turn. Thanks for the great picture and hints.
