Meg will cover every sewing step to make this style including the bias finishes, pleats, crossover bodice, invisible zipper, and even how to adapt your serger for a perfect rolled hem. The pattern is included in this sew-along with an additional of a plus size style pattern that has just as much glam!

“I am so excited – this was my first attempt at a Burda Style pattern and my first sew-along with Meg. I was so inspired. Meg’s tutorials were well thought out and easy to understand. I received so many complements on my finished dress – can’t wait to make another one.
*There was one section that could use some detailed explaining – the pleats in the skirt front/back read very differently in the written instructions. I understood what you did, but you went so fast… I could have used a more in-depth look at that step to clear up any confusion.”

Great idea to use half scale for the instructions. Don’t remember that in the previous sewalongs. Meg did an excellent job as always. Thanks for the variety of garments used.
