Pattern review: Burda vintage 50's: beach outfit Capri
The pattern
Short jumpsuit with zipper in side and halter neck. Skirt with button closure
Additional info:
- EU 34-42. I sized up to a 48.
- Recommended Fabrics : Lightweight like viscose or cotton.
- Featured in Burda Vintage 50's and originally in Burda 5/1950
The fabric
- African Dutch wax in blue and golden yellow.
- White cotton for contrast.
I made both pieces from 3 yards of fabric.
Pattern instructions
For
Burda they are rather elaborated. The numbers on the corners of the
pieces tell which part goes where and is pretty much self explanatory. I
mean, there is a song about it right: the back skirt connects to the...
front skirt. In these instructions they went a little deeper in the
contrast bands which was good. It did take me a couple of reads to
figure out which way to fold the contrast bands.
Fit
It
is a snug fit, like on the pictures. But true to Burda, their sizing is
on point. I am 173 or 5'8" and next time I might make the top just a
bit longer.
Conclusion
Wow,
what a beautiful pattern. I love the short jumpsuit and dressing it up
with a skirt in the same fabric makes it such a beautiful garment. Love
the contrasts
