Just because it’s glam doesn’t mean it has to be difficult to make yourself! This season is calling for all things maxi-length and this fabulous and glamorous dress sew-along is the perfect silhouette to sew up for your next special occasion. What really makes this style special is the fluttering flounce that both finishes the crossover neckline and provides coverage to the shoulders. If you are intimidated by the difficult-to-work-with lightweight fabric that makes this dress truly shine, then not to worry, because instructor Meg Healy will cover tips and tricks on the best way to deal with these fabrics for a truly professional-looking dress. Register here for FREE until December 1st, 2019.

The digital PDF patterns included in the sew-along are BurdaStyle’s Flounce Dress pattern (#108 06/2017) and BurdaStyle’s Plus Size Gown (#121 07/2017).

Behind the scenes of the dress sew-along!

Filming these sew-alongs is always so much fun! Meg had a fabulous time in the studio and is so happy with how these dresses came out, just see below she and her beautiful sister-in-law modeling the looks…

Lovely Alicia is wearing the plus size model of the dress in the sew-along. Her favorite color is purple and you can really tell why. The plus size maxi dress is perfectly fancy without being too formal, and instead of a zipper closure with sewn-in wrap style – this pattern wraps around the body for maximum adaptability and comfort.

Meg wanted to try out this pattern in a fall floral, and the end result is airy and beautiful. I bet she could just twirl in it all day! The lightweight fabric may seem like a hassle to finish, but in the sew-along, Meg shows you how to adapt your serger for a rolled hem to make the flounce and hem edges of this style easy to sew and perfectly professional. Did we also mention that JUST by registering for free, you’ll be entered to win a Singer ProFinish™ 14CG754 Serger so you can re-create this finish yourself.
