Diane Von Furstenberg Maxi Wrap Dress Sale Price $405.00

I fell in LOVE with this DVF dress when I saw someone in blogland wearing it a month of so back (sorry can't remember who it was) and I had to have one.

I initially saw this Burda pattern after working on a Burda dress for one of my clients. I have IGNORED these patterns but not anymore. I LOVE my dress. I actually have a print that is very similar to the DVF dress but I wanted black and white for this one. I WILL Make this again in the other print…and possibly a couple of solids lol.

Burda 7187

The wind was MAD disrespectful when I took this. Soon as Kayla snapped this pic, the bottom fell out lol.

Pattern Description: Maxi Wrap Dress

Pattern Sizing: 10-20 I cut the 14

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I read over the instructions once just to make sure there wasn't anything tricky about it and it wasn't. Very easy, very straight forward, unlike the instructions in the Burda Magazine.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style of this dress. It is indeed a classic.

Fabric Used: Jersey

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I only shortened the sleeves.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I plan on making this one a few more times. I really love it.

Conclusion: This is such a great pattern. VERY well drafted. Pick this one up if you like this style. It's a winner!

Very pretty! I have a short dress that looks very similar. It’s a black and white print also, but I also have a brown and white print. I need to pull it back out of the closet and wear it!

I love your dress better than the DVF dress. Your print is prettier. I still haven’t made a maxi dress but I plan to.

You forgot to mention that the DVF dress was marked down from 809.00. You are KILLING IT.
