This is the first BWOF pattern I have made, I have to confess that I collect the magazine but the thought of tracing lines is just too much for me. Well, after deciding that I really wanted to make this some months ago I finally decided to go ahead with it and IT WAS NOT SO BAD it didnt really take that much longer and it was kind of relaxing.
I did cut a size 34 in BWOF and that seem to work for me since I am not familiar with the sizing and fitting ease for BWOF. I did not read the instructions so I dont know if they were any good...LOL it was so simple it just didnt need instruction. NOW, I am hooked and plan on doing a lot more BWOF patterns..lol
I am pissed that I have a years worth of magazines and I am just now trying one out..LOL
That dress is so cute on you.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The fit is awesome. The dress is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is the cutest! I love the subtle bubble hem!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute dress on you. Great job.
ReplyDeleteMimi, what do you not look good in? Pretty dress! I have yet to do Burda.
ReplyDeleteVery cute girl! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cute on you. Burda really does not take much longer than cutting out the big 4
ReplyDeleteI just traced that dress off yesterday and cut it out today. I love the purple on you and it looks great with the leggings.
ReplyDeleteIt fits you perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSOme 30 years ago, I learnt sewing with BWOF. The patterns were printed more densely on one sheets. It was a bit of a challenge to find the lines then. It has become much easier now. I've discovered Vogue pattern quite recently, and I like them. But I feel uneasy that the seam allowances are included. :-) Although it is easier to cut the fabrics, but old habits ...
That dress looks great on you! I have just bought (on ebay) a 1960 Burda wof - you should see the tracing lines on that ...lol!
ReplyDeleteDid you add the bust darts? I didn't see them, and I didn't know if they were necessary on a knit.
ReplyDeleteThanks mamalobb on PatternReview
I love the dress!! It looks great on you!! I tried a BWOF pattern and I am also hooked
ReplyDeleteLike Erica said, I love the subtle bubble hem on this dress. Truly looks good on you.
ReplyDeleteMimi, that is perfect for your figure!
ReplyDeleteSuper-cute on you! Based on your review, I'm planning on making this. It's my first BWOF- question, did you alter the waist at all? I like that it's fitted. Also, it calls for lining- did you use the same fabric as the garment or something different? Thanks!
