BURDA sewing pattern 6829 creates a close-fitting dress with a wrap-effect front and gathered sides that shape the silhouette. Make it sleeveless or with long sleeves to suit the season, and style it with flats for daytime or heels for a streamlined evening look. Sew with steady control so seams stay smooth around the gathered areas, and gently press the neckline and hem to keep the shape neat and flattering.
