Burda 03-2009-101 Pleated Dress

Here is BWOF 03-2009 #101. It's basically a long, loose shirt dress. I really liked the model photo and the mannequin shot.


I thought the line drawing was uninspiring. But, it's accurate. It does look like a sack when it's untied.


I fixed the yoke piece and finished the dress last night. I love the color and the floofy hem a the bottom. It's a silk duppioni my darling husband bought the last time he was in Houston. He rocks. I cut it off at the knee instead of below the knee.


This is item number one for my mini-SWAP. I'm wavering on two jackets. Not that it's too much sewing but that the collars on the jackets won't go with the collar on this dress. I'll make mock-ups and then let you guys help me make the call.



I really like this dress. I think I need to press the neckline again.

Shoes a present from my husband also. He bought them last year for my birthday from DUO.com.
