Summer dress in cotton jersey made from pattern in Burda WOF-Magazine 4/2007, dress #108. This dress was easy to make and is fun to wear. I didn’t like the cap sleeves too much. Because I have broad shoulders I looked like a body builder… So I attached some lingerie elastic to the sleeves so they would be more fitted. I really like the frilly look it got from that alteration.

A Burda dress pattern from their german language website. I used a quilting cotton and it suited the pleats in the bodice and sleeves nicely, I think. I added on-seam side pockets and shortened the waste 1 cm. No instructions- but I like how it turned out.
