BURDA sewing pattern 6538 creates sassy strap dresses that can be worn alone in hot weather or layered over a simple T-shirt. Panel seams shape the dress and flare it at the hem, and one view adds patch pockets for a practical detail without adding bulk. Choose a stable woven that holds shape, reinforce straps and seams for durability, and finish hems neatly so the dress layers comfortably and finish seams neatly for longevity.
