New York, New Yo...
We love this dress so much we're offering it in plus too! With it's vintage feel, full back, and center front insets, it has enough lovely details to satisfy the most fashion-obsessed sewers. Depending on your fabrication choices, it's also sweet enough for a summer party or sophisticated enough for the office.
Material Notes
cotton, chiffon, one button, zipper, interfacing.

Finally making my muslin for this dress…yay!!! I don't know if admin still checks up on the comments after a pattern has been up for a while, but I'd like to add that the free sleeve variation is definitely NOT the sleeve pictured. The download is ridiculously long compared to the finished product on Alden, and even the photos in the "how-to's". Guess I'll figure it out on my own. Eek…wish me luck :)

im tempted to make something like this only in a top because i dont partically like 'work dresses' as a i call them. alden looks beautiful in this!!!!!

It's true – these sleeves are MUCH better than the other ones, and the model looks so great! I love both versions of the dress though! I think it's wonderful that this dress looks so flattering on both thin and curvier women! And it's got a vintage feel! What could be better? (:
May 27, 2009, 02.47 PMby ghainskom
ha ha, now I have the answer to my question from last week! This dress does fit curvier figures. Thank you Burdastyle!

Think I have to agree with everyone. The plus size version looks so much better. Perhaps it just needs a few feminine curves to balance the contrasting pleated front piece. Its hard to believe Alden is a Plus size. It certainly does look gorgeous on you Alden.
May 27, 2009, 02.14 AMby lisis amazing!!!! congratulations….

I can only agree with everyone else: the dress looks great on Alden and the sleeves are better. Which means that I won't be making this dress (it looks like it needs a serious bit of bust to look good, so no way it's going to work on me). wzrdreams, I know about the trouble of being in between sizes. How's your bust size? When picking a dress size, that's usually where you start. I would say you start with the size that will fit there, than take in the waist and shoulders and take out the hip if necessary. Also, pay attention to the back length measurement: getting that right can make a big difference. This dress is built up and down from the waistband, so getting that in the right place is essential.

Glad to see a garment on someone curvy on top like me…I can see how this will fit me… I don't usually wear dresses, but I would like to make it as a top.
May 26, 2009, 04.31 PMby mmmrphs
WOW! This is so sexy! It looks great with the tighter fit shown here! The new sleeves are very cool!
May 26, 2009, 03.11 PMby emilykate
I know I'm just going to sound like an echo, but Alden you look fantastic in this dress and yes, I think you're showing it off better than the model from last week (cute as she was!) Can't wait to see other BurdaStylers versions!
May 26, 2009, 03.05 PMby ukiri
I love this!! I can't wait to get started!
May 26, 2009, 02.53 PMby wzrdreams
This is such a lovely dress. Alden looks great!
Unfortunately, the sizing poses the same probelm for me as many commercial patterns…. I'm a 44-46 in the hip, but a 42 in the shoulders. So I am faced with a difficult choice of which pattern size to buy. Whenever I attempt to make a 44 dress the bodice fit is sadly frumpy… but grading up from a 42 for the rest of the garment (plus full bust adjustment) is even more work. Bummer.
May 26, 2009, 02.15 PMby carlatv
I love the way this dress looks. I might just have to break down and buy it. But I think I would make it into a long top. Not into dresses. :o)
May 26, 2009, 01.59 PMby alden
Hey Everyone, The How To for the sleeves is uploaded here Hope that helps! This dress is so much fun to wear, one of my favorites! And thank you for all you kind words.
May 26, 2009, 01.17 PMby ditavee
elainemay – looks like there's no sleeve in the pattern, just the same cap thing that was on the first one. Looks like we need to figure that part out ourselves! Though why this couldn't be included in the pattern as an option, I don't know.
May 26, 2009, 01.07 PMby daisygreenlight
I love this one! I also like these sleeves more. I have no time to sew…but I have to get this. I love it!
May 26, 2009, 01.04 PMby elainemay
ooh, i like this version a lot more than the one from last week— this one has sleeves rather than the little ruffly flaps- but the technical drawings for both the misses and plus sizes show the flaps- is the sleeve part of either pattern or is there a how-to or something?
May 26, 2009, 12.34 PMby ditavee
Oh no! I bought the small version last week and just started plugging away at grading it because I had no idea a plus size was coming! (Isn't there usually a mention that it is?) And yes, it looks amazing on Alden (as usual) and much more beautiful in the 'plus' size. Ah well, guess I'll save myself a few days work and just buy it again. Edited to add that I didn't mean to sound petulant! This really is even better than the first.
May 26, 2009, 12.24 PMby memyselfi
Ver nice and I also like this version much better than the non-plus. Alden looks marvellous and the sleeves look very sophisticated.
May 26, 2009, 11.43 AMby Laura Bolčina
Plus size is much better than a smaller size from last week. Alden looks really beautiful and feminine. Well done, BurdaStyle! ;)
May 26, 2009, 10.54 AMby kora-bean
Wow! I think this works even better as a larger size. Although this model is hardly what I would call "plus," still you can see that the dress works really well with a curvier figure. I love her hair also. Nice work! This just might be the dress for me!
May 26, 2009, 10.53 AMby amibambini
Alden you look GORGEOUS! Great dress, I actually prefer these sleeves to the ones on last weeks version. Any chance of a 'how-to' on them so I don't need to buy both patterns? This is definitely my favourite new Burda pattern in a while. Much respect to you all!

My previous sb turned 1 y/o just over a week ago, and now stands at 22 pages. Which is my lucky number. I also just finished up my second year at college, so I took all this as incentive to start a new book on here and leave beautiful liar behind. Because new years comes sooner for me.
I don't feel like bumping my old sb, so I'll just very improperly thank everyone for posting and critting my work on there, it means a great deal to wake up some mornings and find that you peeps were interested enough to give well considered, well founded feedback. Muchos gracias.
Right so I'm pretty darn excited about this coming year, have a lot ideas bouncing around, a lot of pet projects, and best of all some time (college 3rd year gives you a lot of freedom, so I may well end up pursuing some of my own goals). Looking forward to doing some fun stuff.
Anycase, I'm rambling again. First art of this sb follows in my next post, this one is reserved for the almighty thumb.

Lauren Silberman, First Woman to Take Part in NFL Combine, Competing as Kicker
The "F" in NFL could soon stand for "female."
Lauren Silberman will make history by becoming the first woman ever to compete in an NFL regional combine March 2-3 in New Jersey. She'll attend the tryouts as a kicker and join a small sorority of mostly fictional kickers.
Silberman, 28, certainly has her work cut out for her in her quest to prove women offer more on the gridiron than jokes at the expense of Manti Te'o. Obviously, she'll be competing against a field of men, but these are men who actually played in college. Silberman can't even write that on her résumé. She played club soccer at the University of Wisconsin, which hardly seems like good training when a botched field goal means you're running for your life while a hoard of linebackers is chasing you down like bloodhounds circling raw meat.
The regional is comprised of college players who didn't get an invitation to the main combine in Indianapolis. Those who do well in the regionals advance to a super-regional combine scheduled for April in Dallas.
Silberman had been blissfully unaware of her role:
"I was not aware that I was the first female registrant. I was actually hoping that the 2012 historical milestone rule, to allow women to play, would prompt more women to attend tryouts this year. But for me, what's important is to finally have a chance to fulfill my dreams by trying out to play in the world's most competitive football league."
Silberman further distances herself from other hopefuls because she has a master's degree -- from MIT, no less. Her thesis centered on how athletes use video games to improve their play on the field. Wait – you can write a thesis on that? College is getting soft.
She also owns a consulting company giving athletes assistance in using video games for training. With a background like hers, she should probably forget a career in the NFL and focus on dominating in Madden '13. Just a thought.

What secret shall I divulge? A good one is the non-secret that I am an ornithophobe. I am afraid of birds.
I blame the television show, "Little House on the Prairie". In an episode, Laura finds a bird's nest and gets to watch baby birds hatch. I thought this was a good idea. So the next day, I climbed a tree and found a nest. The mother bird found me and pecked and scratched the top of my head repeatedly. As a mother, I understand. As a child and adult, I am still terrified.
The degrees of ornithophobia vary greatly. I have a fairly mild form. I can talk about birds and watch birds in movies and on television. I can walk outside and not give much attention to them. It is the sound of flapping wings and the close proximity of them that gets to me. If I'm sitting and bird perches near me then my heart races and I have to move immediately.
My friends and family always make a point of telling me their "close encounters with birds" stories. A few days, ago my husband texted me with "You wouldn't have been able to get into the car today because a bird was on top!" He was correct. I wouldn't have been able to get into the car with a bird on top.
I tell my girls that mommy is just being silly and refrain from pulling them away from our neighbor's parakeet's cage. After all, one ornithophobe per family unit is enough.
