Romantic dress with lace inserts, puff sleeves and a pretty elasticated closure with round buttons. 🤍🌿
This Burda dress had been on my to-sew list for quite some time. And as soon as I found this beautiful light green and white checked fabric, everything just fell into place!
The fabric is slightly sheer, so I decided to skip the facings and fully line the dress instead. I added a strip of lace to the sleeves and hem, and lined both the bodice and skirt.
My absolute favourite details are the beautiful puff sleeves and the round buttons with ribbon loops — such pretty little details that really make this dress special. ✨
Fit:
I made a size 38 and overall, the fit is very good. However, because of the many gathers in the sleeves, the armhole feels a little snug. For my next dress using this pattern, I’ll adjust this by making the armhole of the bodice slightly larger.
Pattern: Burda 3/2025 model 101
Fabric: light green & white checked fabric
