BURDA sewing pattern 6520 gives a fresh take on the shirt-blouse dress with a tailored feel that still works for everyday styling. Both styles have a notched collar and button to the waist, and the pleated skirt can be made in two lengths with options for sleeve bands or turned-up sleeves and a narrow belt. Pick a crisp or drapey woven depending on the look, practise collar and button placements on scraps, and press the pleats for a tidy silhouette.
