Have you seen the new Burda magazine that has the patterns already individually drafted, no tracing? Just cut and pin like "normal" patterns? I picked up the latest and it has some great patterns in there, waiting for me to try them. I was so happy to see these cut and sew ones. Tracing is okay, but I'd just rather not have to buy tracing paper and do all that.
Anyway, the dress looks fabulous, as always--great color and the neckline details are great too.

Congratulations on your first BWOF and on doing such a fabulous work with it! I love everything about your version of this dress: the modified collar and the exposed zipper are my favorite details!

Another convert to BWOF! Welcome! The dress looks fabulous. And you started your BWOF journey by putting the Erica B. touch on your first garment. Damn, you're good!

I am SO excited to see your version of a Burda pattern! I think we're about the same size, and I skipped right over this dress, thinking it wouldn't look good on me, but it looks FABULOUS on you! I'm inspired!

Fabulous! I knew you'd love BWOF! I like your version without the collar - I hesitated on this dress because I didn't care for the collar all that much. Hot color, too, BTW!

So hot! I like the exposed zipper, I have been wanting to try that too. Your dress belongs on Net-a-Porter right alongside the Mouret dress.

Beautiful dress and the color is so vibrant! I will have to get back into BWOF. I used to subscribe and not certain what happened to all my old issues. But they always have cutting edge styles!

Great first Burda! The instructions may be lacking, but the drafting is always first rate.
I have a question for you about the zipper. I like your exposed zipper, but how did you set it? Did you topstitch around it? Its hard to tell in the photo.

This is really lovely, and lovely on you.
Curious question--what do you do with all your muslins? You must have quite a wardrobe of them!

I'm glad you like the Burda patterns. I'm addicted to them and love the fact that seam allowances are NOT included!
Since you like their patterns, you must be happy to know there are quite a lot of them free now on BurdaStyle Burda style site. They are available for printing at home and at the print shops, and come with some instructions.
I'm addicted to Burda!
Love your creations!

Lovely sewing, knitting, and clever too!
