Pattern Description: Raglan shirt has gathered sleeves.

Pattern Sizing:Burda sizes from 34 - 42

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I didn't bother to read the instructions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Nothing to really dislike. What I like is it is a good fitting top straight from the pages of Burda.
Fabric Used:This is fabric that had been lurking in the back of my fabric closet since . . . well, for a long time.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I sewed a straight 42. I omitted the binding around the neck line since I am forever fiddle with it so instead I just turned under the seam allowance (3/8) and sewed it down with a twin needle. I also added a three inch deep hem and also sewed it down with a twin needle.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes, I would sew it again and I have and I would recommend this Burda top. It was easy to sew together (took me an evening) and is comfortable and is stylish, too.

Conclusion: Great top. I made two more. How many of these tops can a a girl have? As many as she can sew

That is really cute! I love the fabric. I really like this pattern, but I haven't brought myself to size it up to a 46 yet *sigh*

Very nice! I've been toying with making this pattern, because I love the gathered detail. Maybe I will now that I see how much you like it.

Love all three versions! I have this one traced off, now just need to find time to cut it out and sew it up.
