By comparing the petite and normal measurements (I'm speaking about BWOF measurements), it seemed like they were pretty same in shoulder - bust - waist - hip areas, so the only thing I altered was the waist length, as you first suggested. I am 175cm tall, and I added few centimeters to the waist length.<BR/>I don't write a blog on sewing, but you can see my altered dresses on the Burda Style site <A HREF="http://www.burdastyle.com/creations/show/11989" REL="nofollow">here</A> and <A HREF="http://www.burdastyle.com/creations/show/8793" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>AnaJanAnaJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896061051024965668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-90622137263960992242009-03-24T18:25:00.000-05:002009-03-24T18:25:00.000-05:00Lots of great patterns there.

The 70's called, they want their clothes back? I don't think I'll be going down that road again, I'm now old enough to realize how silly they look and how impractacle they are to wear. No thank you, I'll just take those cute "wedding pants",please. And the jacket. And the top.BeeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801842490035341712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-33667137425594106382009-03-24T15:35:00.000-05:002009-03-24T15:35:00.000-05:00*sigh*...

To make it regular you should just add a cm or two above the bust and to the waist. Like the comment earlier said, you can find it on the Burda website under workshops.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099128922590283342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-87307136183407310862009-03-24T12:28:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:28:00.000-05:00Once again, great choices.I love the 112 top.

Obviously, this is standard alterations so you should compare with your specific measurements.<BR/><BR/>Ok, I found the link to my reply on Pattern Review's board:<BR/><BR/>http://sewing.patternreview.com/SewingDiscussions/topic/38033/2<BR/><BR/>And, lastely, do you know there's a yahoogroup called Burda English? I'm a member and they have all the workshop pages that were included in the older magazines (same as online) available to members. Plus, 700+ BWOF fans, always a good thing, right?<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>PS my fledgling sewing blog http://fashionmate.blogspot.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01098065151528983189noreply@blogger.com
