BURDA Pattern 7972 is a paper sewing pattern for shift dresses and a coordinating top, designed with clean lines. It features panel seams and a square neckline, with options for a sleeveless dress, a short-sleeved dress, or a waist-high top, in sizes 12–24 (38–50). Use the size chart before cutting and check neckline placement on a basted try-on. Use a test neckline facing or binding if you are changing fabrics, and press the square neck carefully.
