Hi guys! I was so excited I totally forgot to mention how I hacked the pattern to dress length and will definitely include that when I finish of the dress hack. Basically I just lengthened the back pattern piece and one of the front pattern pieces. Hope you like the video :-). Hila x
The rose fabric is beautiful. It fits so nice. You make me smile. I love your energy
Aw thank you so much. Though I make these videos out of my own sheer love and joy of sewing - it is humbling to hear that you enjoy them too. x
Love the top and I think tunic length. That floral fabric is gorgeous.
Thank you! I have been wearing it a lot lately especially with the darker mornings we have here in the UK now (I think you are headed for spring ). x
Great video. I was undecided about what length was my favorite until you put the belt with it. The dress length looks amazing with the belt. My favorite by far.
Thanks Janet!
Great idea turning the top inside out and putting it on so we can see the construction.
Thank you! I always find it useful to see the interior of a garment hence why I show it :-)
I love it, thank you! This will be my first non-PDF pattern, so I really appreciate your insight. I love this top so much because many wrap tops are too revealing for me to wear to work. I appreciate that you modelled it inside out, that really helps see the construction. Your dress hack is gorgeous! Great job and thanks again!
great pattern !
i realy like the fact that you show the inside of your clothes.
have a good day
Thank you! So glad you enjoy the video too. I firmly that you learn more from the inside of the garment than from just the outside :-).
I love your videos. Loved both your makes but the tunic length looked really great.
Thanks Connie! x
love it ,longer version is my favorite ,you chose what ever you like the most ,i will give a try myself, look easy to put together ,,,to trace the pattern i am not so excited ,,
Thanks Nata. Tracing is never any fun but I always tell myself that i gotta woman up for the tracing and that gets me going usually :-). Its only 3 patterns pieces though. x
Dress length with the belt looks great.
Dress length is winning! Thanks Barbara. xx
Thank for another joyful, happy sewing vlog. Your energy just jumps off the screen and makes me smile. Regarding the length, my first reaction was that from the front I like the dress length best. But it depends on how you want to wear it. Dress is dressier, more formal, office wear like. Also back of skirt looks bit tight, defining the back curve, so to say. Tunic length look more casual and playful, less curvy. I can see you in both. Good luck deciding and finishing. Looking forward to the results.
Thank you for the kind words Lily!
Hi! I am actually making this pattern this week! I made it once before but I think it is perfect for Fall. It is pretty easy but I so agree on the instructions. In fact I made a booboo the first time I made it because the instructions were weird. The top and dress look great on you and I love your personality!
Thanks Dari! What an aweosme IG feed and RUclips channel! SOmetimes with Burda you gotta ignore the instructions and go offroad :-)
Hi Hila, you are such a bundle of joy 😁. I love your Burda top and love the dress in all its lengths but if I had to choose, I would go for the longer version with the belt 👌. It looks like a great top to make and not too complicated👍😉😘
Thanks Sally! It is quite easy if you have made a shawl collar before which thankfully I have otherwise it might have been a different story.
Hiya. I really like that as a top and will do one for myself i think. The black and white one I like as a dress but belted and i think you are right about attaching it higher at the side. They look great on you!
Thank you! If you struggle with the instructions just remember you are not alone. Others have told me they struggled and went offroad too. x
I love seeing the joy you get out of your makes! My vote is for the knee length dress, belted.
.
Thanks Joyce! Dress length for the win! x
Thank you for this review, i have this pattern in my unfinished pile. Think I'll try a sew it this weekend!
Awesome! Are you on IG? Or a blog? I'd love to see your finished top. Let me know. x
@@SaturdayNightStitch I'm sewconspicuous on IG. I'll tag you when i finish it! Thanks for replying back!
Love your videos Hila and love that you're championing Burda Style! Great top. I think the dress looks best longer...something about the proportions.
Thanks Elaine! I am leaning towards dress length too :-)
Looks so good i think i like the midi length with belt. But all look really good 😍. i am so happy that you had issues with the instruction. 😅 Lol. I just went my own way and it work out a bit lol.
I hear you. If I had to pick a soundtrack for my relationship with BurdaStyle instructions - it would "You can go you own way" by Fleetwood Mac :-)
I think the knee length dress looks great for the fabric pattern
Thanks Charese! I totally agree with that. x
How could anyone not enjoy your videos-they're always so fun to watch! Love this pattern! The top version is fab. I love all versions/lengths of the dress with a belt-leaning towards tunic length with leggings/skirt and roll neck top. Can't wait to see what you decide! Congrats on achieving triple September.
Thanks Laura! I like the term "Triple September" very much :-)
Mini-length! Looks great :)
:) Thank you! x
Love it!!!!! I am going to copy and make one too!!
Such a great pattern! Good luck with it and if you understand the instructions please let me know - there might a better to make it than my pin and go technique :_). x
I think I like it best at dress length with a belt. It looks more formal but also classy.
Thanks Lilac - am leaning towards dress length too and I could definitely use more classy pieces in my closet :)
Love the top on you 👏👏
Thank you💞🙏🏾
looks beautiful on you.
Thank you!
Fabulous make - love it. We've been away so haven't had chance to look at that issue properly yet but that top is definitely a must make! Re length I like the dress length and the belt looks amazing with it!
Thanks Kathie! Hope you had a lovely time. This issue is so good! I have so much I want to make from it. x
You look good in all looks, I think you should keep it as a full length dress. You look amazing. I love it with the belt.
Thanks Estelle! Dress length noted! x
Yes. I. M agree!
I just made this one in this beautiful scarlet red jersey. Unfortunately, i was short on fabric and they cut it badly! So i shortened it, which did not work out well. I will need to make the longer version, but i do love it. It was easy to make tho the instructions were def hard to grasp...
I didn't get the instructions either and did what I do when I don't understand - pinned it out. Its sounds like it would be a lovely top in scarlet red. Good luck with the next one. x
Great job Hila!!! I love the print blouse. Need that fabric for my daughters baby shower. For the b/w version I love the dress length with the belt. Uber cute - but you have such a great shape any of the versions would be great on you!!! Love your makes and congratulations on getting it all done in September.
Thanks Sandi! I am so ridiculously proud of having done it all in the same month! I do wish I had bought more of this fabric too - i have a feeling it's going to be one of my top tops😄. Thanks for the input on the length. Dress length is the way to go. X
HI Hila, congratulations on your All September timeline. I like the length your dress is now but I think the tunic length looks best with the belt. The fabric is fab whatever length you choose.
Thanks Jenny! I like the term "All September timeline" xx
Saturday Night Stitch I use Burda style in German (because I am a glutton for punishment - LOL!). I have just checked my (German) copy of this magazine and it says to only use ‘Bi-elastisch’ jersey - which means 4-way stretch (all directions) as apposed to the more common 2-way (just on length/width). So there may be a mistranslation occurring here (if it says- 2-way in English)? Not sure if that’s a factor? Re: skirt length - I think it works at knee length as a more ‘serious’ piece, but is more fun/playful at shorter length or tunic. If any of that helps? Fantastic make by the way. I love your eye for design/colour matching, and the infectious joy you bring to your channel! More of the same please! 🙂
Thanks for that info Natalie! You are absolutely right - they call fabric that has both crossgrain and straightforward stretch "4 way" for the most part. I always thought of it as 2 way because it stretches both ways up and down as opposed to only stretching one way along the cross grain like sateens for example. Thanks for the articulate advice on the dress length, I am a big fan of proportion and you verbalised what I was struggling to understand in my head and why I couldn't decide ( normally am a decisive person😄) I will keep it at dress length and rock it with the belt. So glad you enjoy the videos too. X
For the longer version you could have used the measurements from one of your straight skirt patterns from the waist or hip down to the hem.
Your 1st top was very neatly finished on the inside. Congratulations.
Thanks Jacqueline. Will keep that in mind when I give it another go. X
Hi Hila what a little ray of sunshine you are :-) I think this style is lovely on you and both of the fabrics are great. I think the dress to the knee would be good for work or day wear and the shorter styles for socialising. If it was the short version you could use it for both night and day, belt and high shoes for night and leggings/trousers for day. Thank you for sharing x
Thanks for the input Gaynor! This is such a versatile pattern, I see more of them in my future. x
Love your energy Hila, you're great. I prefer the tunic length on you with the belt, but I've seen I'm not part of the majority...
Thanks Odile! Someone suggested I make all 3 lengths and honestly I am going to do that😄. I have some lovely jazzy fabric that's perfect for tunic length. It's such a versatile pattern!
Nice job on both pieces. I like the dress length best even though all of the lengths looks nice on you.
Thanks Charlene! I am liking dress length too :).x
Great video Hila! I love your top and your second project too! I think all lengths would be beautiful… But in my opinion, the tunic length would give you many more options! You could wear it with leggings, a pencil skirt, etc. Again, any of the lengths would be great!
Thanks Myra! I am so tempted by the tunic length - have to sort it out by this weekend :)
Love the dress version but it all looks good. Love the belt.
Thanks Hilda! I am loving that belt because I picked it up frm a second hand shop for on 50 pence (50 cents) :_)
make another one have three lengths...super cute
You, woman, are a GENIUS! Of course I should make more of them! xxxx
Yes, thank God for the fantastic September issue! I just thumbed through Oktober and didn’t bother even buying it. Sooo boring!
Love that top, too...planning on making it in a lightweight, drapy woolknit for winter as well. I like, that I can get it over my head without destroying my hairdo...😎
Ohhh...you made it into a dress! Looks fabulous!
I prefer the longer version...suits you very well!
You look great in all lengths! I don't to waste fabric though so maybe the dress?
Excellent point about waste. I am going for dress length and hoping to finish it up this weekend. x
@@SaturdayNightStitch I always enjoy your energy and enthusiasm. You inspire me. I've tried to see in the past but without satisfying results. I'm trying the Adler even though I'm not fond of gathers. I hope to love mine as much as you do!
You rock girl
Thank you! I appreciate your thoughts on the matter :). xxx
Love the dress!
Thanks hun! x
Keep the dress to the length you originally made it to, it’s flattering on you.
Thanks Nicole! xx
You said sleeves were sort of snug - is the pattern specifically for knits, or for wovens? Your fabric choices were gorgeous, as usual. The top in that colorful knit just has a wonderful look and fit! I think the sleeveless one would work as a tunic. A sleeved, knee-length dress would look great too, like to go to work or out to dinner or church, whatever.
Thank you for the kind words! The pattern is for knits - it does say to use 2 way stretch jersey in the recommended fabric bit. x
Love yr blouse and love yr honesty telling us what went wrong and actually turning the blouse inside out for us to see and understand and the inside and cut ! I would like to sew this however I am not as slim as you maybe two sizes bigger what would u suggests as fabric and I think I should go up an extra size from my actual size since it seems very fitted , do u agree ?
As regards yr dress I like the belt idea and also you might sew three or four buttons on the side , it would be stylish 😍 love the dress on you too, many thanks xx
Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the sizing - I cut my size based in my bust waist hip measurements on BurdaStyle regular size (they have Tall, Petit, Plus, and Regular). It's drafted well so If you make sure to get your measurements properly and use the corresponding size it should be ok. The fabric needs to be a stretch fabric that stretches across the grain and along the straight grain i.e. 4 way stretch fabric. It should be stretching equally whichever way you pull at it. If in doubt make a trial garment in a similar type fabric. Since this pattern is already available as a paper pattern there are a few reviews online that you can check out. You might find someone else who is closer in size to you who has made it and get some insight. Just Google "BurdaStyle 6838 pattern review" and that will bring up a few. I hope that helps. Good luck.

I want to sew this top today but the instructions confuse me, even though I'm not a beginner.
Yeah I feel you. I never figured out how to do it the way it's written. I always end up pinning out to achieve the look.
Just interested- how do you do a swayback adjustment?
I like the dress length, but with your figure you can get away with anything. I'm probably influenced by the fact that I can imagine the dress length on me, but definitely not the mini and I don't do the tunic legging look. In the end you'll make the look you love the most.
That's such an interesting point about the influence of what you imagine on yourself - its something I do a lot when I evaluate patterns too. But it so quick I don't even realise I'm doing it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the length - I am leaning towards the dress length as well. Someone mentioned proportions and that immediately resonated for me.
If you make it shorter - make it short enough to be used a top.
Thanks for the tip. x
Leave it as a dress.
Absolutely!
