Burda

[Efemera]

I quite like this... don’t know what it would look like on a fuller figure...any thoughts. It a Burda PDF pattern

Hmmmmm....the bust is emphasised, on a big bust it might be a fitting problem. I wonder how easy it would be to do an FBA. On a full figure the tiered skirt might not suit but the fullness could be reduced to slim it a little.

Depends on how big a bust you have and do you want to look like they are bandaged up? Apart from the twisty bit I think this is ok as long as you don't make my mistakes and make it too big. I wonder if the busty thing would move down to the waist?

[Efemera]

I don’t have a big bust but I’ve had second thoughts.... how would you iron it after washing?

I think that is definitely one for the stick insects of the world! 

As for ironing, well that depends on the choice of fabric!  Though it looks as though the original is a woven and the bit around the hips (and probably also the twisty bit over the boobs) is cut on the bias.  Always a *** to iron nicely.

I really don't think it is meant for a larger bust, it would be difficult to do an FBA. Actually I would like the dress without the bust twist!

For ironing tricky bits I tend to put the garment on a coat hanger and just steam it with the steam iron.

[Efemera]

I think it’s the tiered skirt that appeals the most.. that would be easy to copy.

Garment steamer to iron.  One that puts out a bit of steam. 

I got some girls now...and there is no way I could do this.  Heck, I couldn't do the bandeau when I was 90 lbs.  Not without industrial bras, duck tape and a prayer at least.
