Burda 04-2009 #122 Dolman Sleeve Top

Again with the Out-Of-Comfort-Zone sewing. This one I like better than the purple top. Some (most?) of you will like the purple top more I bet. I always seem to be in the minority. This is made out of one of the fabrics my husband bought for me when he was in Houston. It's a poplin-type fabric but it's also a gauze. It's almost like they wove the poplin and then shrank some of the threads in it to make it puckery. I realized I didn't have to be very precise with my cutting or stitching because this is so spongy. I mean, I was as precise as possible but I probably didn't have to be.



It's a simple dolman sleeve top (that's the right kind of sleeve right?) with a drawstring at the empire level. I didn't do my normal 1/2" shoulder to bust shortening because it is loose.















There's no a lot to add to the pictures. I'll do the full-fledged review later today.

    I think this one's cute. I was eyeing it myself in that issue as I think it could be worn by many ages and shapes depending on the fabric that is chosen.

    I like the shape of this. I was thinking of making this in a silk chiffon. I don't know why I buy that stuff because I never know what to do with it, but this pattern seems suited to lightweight fabrics.

    I like this top and the shape. Your fabric is perfect for this pattern. You've just given me a great idea for a fancy top I need in a few months. I need to pull this BWOF out of my "to read" pile. :)

    You beat me to it. I made it this weekend and haven't posted my photos. It looks so cute on you. I love the idea of beads- I may change mine a little now. Thanks for the idea!

    I was thinking of making this into a dress. Do you think it would work..any suggestions? Your top will look cute with shorts for the summer!
