Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I used the pattern from June 2010 Burda magazine after seeing the cute versions others have made. I added a couple of extra centimetres to the yoke to give more coverage. I put in the invisible zipper on the left side, although I don’t think it needs one as I can put on this top without opening the zipper. I used french seams for the back and right sides.
All up this was fairly easy to put together and really comfortable to wear.
Material Notes
Floral cotton voile from Fabric.com

I have been wearing the dress I made from the same pattern during my whole week end! It is so comfy! I love your version! The print of the fabric looks so fresh!

You did such a fabulous job! The fabric choice was very nice too.

Really pretty. And I think the larger yoke is very flattering.

Love the pleats, love the fabric, and french-seams are absolutely worth the extra time. Great work!

The material matches the pattern so well! I would be adding centimetres to the yoke as well, I hate tops that come down too low.

It’s really sweet! And that blue is such a great color for us fair-skinned gals. Nice work on the pin tucks and adding to the yoke, it makes a good difference :D
