I've been a Burda magazine subscriber for over a dozen years now. If you're not familiar with Burda, it's a sewing pattern magazine published in Germany. Sometimes their designs seem a little wacky at first (and I'm the queen of wearing wacky things, so I can say that). But, after a few years they start to grow on you, and before you know it, you wonder why you waited so long to make some of them! That's the case with this dress from the May 2012 issue of Burda magazine, design #107. It was so memorable, that it was always in the back of my mind for when I found the right fabric. Here is their version: And here is mine: I used two colors of 100% linen from Fabric Mart. I didn't originally intend to mix them, but when I got my package, I thought that the colors looked really good together! This was a technically challenging dress because I had to do a full bust adjustment, which with that wacky front was a real headscratcher.
