Even with the sew along videos I found the lack of instruction quite disappointing. The construction for the back and insertion of sleeves of the plus size dress were not shown in the videos and just referred to the other dress back video. The picture instructions for the darts on the back of the dress were also lacking. The other dress back and sleeves are not the same as the plus size so I was left confused and frustrated trying to figure it out especially since the instructions for Burda’s patterns in general are very sparse.

Couldn’t be improved. Videos great and as this wasn’t an easy sew the photos were a great extra.
