Another one . . . Burda 06-2009 #101

So I like this one much better. I used a lovely blue double knit from Gorgeous Things. I tried to find it on her website but she must be sold out. I love this. It's not a dress for hot, hot weather though. It's certainly an Alaska dress with the double layered bodice in double knit. I didn't do much differently than last time. I did add my 1/2" bust adjustment so it's shortened just a bit.






The back had a center back seam. Burda would have you put a zipper in here. I added a swayback adjustment. I probably would have added a center back seam anyway to do the swayback adjustment. I didn't put in a zipper. Burda, it's a knit. Knits are stretchy.

Inside of bodice. The facing is not stitched down yet. I just had to show you guys. It did not finish the edges of the facing because I didn't want to add even more bulk. It's double knit, there are two layers, there are lots of pleats, it's thick enough.



I'm off to write the PatternReview review! :)
