In need of a new dress to wear to work, around town, or attend a special occasion in? Learn how to sew one yourself with this new sew-along! The Detail Dress from the 08/2017 issue of BurdaStyle magazine is a design that is challenging but absolutely rewarding. The waistline is drawn in by a gathered bar panel that has the look of a cummerbund with an asymmetric flair. The backside and the overcut shoulders are subdued in contrast to the front that transforms this dress into a wonderfully feminine look. You can even get creative with fabric mixing and paneling to make the panel pop even more!

    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.
