Yours looks great. I first turned to the Russian Burda site when searching the new English site was so hard. I just downloaded 5 patterns on sale from burda.ru for about $6 total. <br />For those who might be interested, you can upload the instruction file to link below, and it will translate while retaining formatting. The pattern file doesn't need translating. <br />https://www.onlinedoctranslator.com/?fbclid=IwAR0fkHY8L4pwdBZUiPLzjb2mmf1qvBtejZadTCrT-8OZT-fzwRDXAnuneF8Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013073315698648712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-71993896327383291912020-07-16T12:01:56.563+10:002020-07-16T12:01:56.563+10:00For the record, though the dress isn't what yo...For the record, though the dress isn't what you intended from the pattern, it looks great anyway.
