Moving to wine country means – a new wine county wardrobe, of course! I’ve started off with this fairly simple top from Burda Magazine. I had made the top a couple of years ago, but I never liked the all around elastic that went right under the bust. It felt uncomfortable and looked…sausage-y. With this second attempt, I added 2 inches to the upper front and back pieces so the elastic casing is lower. I think it looks much better, in my opinion.

In 1949, Aenne Burda started a magazine printing and publishing company in Offenburg, Germany. Her first fashion magazine was Favorit. One year later, it was renamed Burda Moden, and in 1952, patterns were inserted in the magazines. Eventually, the name evolved to Burda World of Fashion and eventually just Burda Fashion.

Except for one change, yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Love the vintage-y look, the gathered detailing at the shoulders, under the arms and around bodice. The casing for the drawstring is placed a little oddly. It starts at the , goes under the arms and up to the front neckline. This photo illustrates it better:
The instructions call for you to make your adjustments, then sew down the drawstring where it exits the front neckline. I chose not to do so because depending on what I am wearing underneath, I may want to adjust it differently. Since I lowered the upper bodice, I sewed together the two front bodice pieces where they cross the chest to avoid any gaposis.
I finished the armhole and bottom hems with a serged rolled hem.
Fabric Used:
Polyester chiffon that had a nice border design on it that I thought would be perfect for this pattern. Think I got this from Hancocks.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I had made this pattern up once before and did not like the placement of the elastic right under the chest.
It looked a little too sausage-y on me, if that’s a word! Plus I have a long torso. So I added 2 inches to the upper front and back pieces. The elastic falls just above my waist and looks way more flattering.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
For a Burda pattern, this is easy to cut out with only 5 pieces! A perfect top for spring and summer.
