My upper body is relatively longer: I always add 3 cm to the length in regular patterns for tops/jackets but none for pants. <br />Think that at 166 you could remove a little from the length. I usually change length a few cm above the waist and make no changes to the armhole.

I'm 166 cm and I wonder if I have to size it down. How tall are you? It looks just perfect so I'm guessing (fearing) a bit taller than me?

BurdaStyle is not for the faint of heart even if their drafting is exceptional. I also have the Jane shirt from Ready to Sew as I can't quite decide between the two. Your shirt is absolutely gorgeous and thanks for sharing! katrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414699583832152261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-11408732796349993712018-01-11T01:52:51.545+01:002018-01-11T01:52:51.545+01:00Lovely blouse and thank you for the tips on the ne...Lovely blouse and thank you for the tips on the neckline.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-45056850361359088672018-01-10T17:15:08.928+01:002018-01-10T17:15:08.928+01:00Now I understand.

I love your burda version and especially like that it comes in tall, which as you say is a nice change. I love the fabric.

Have checked her way of doing it and it's more clear what Burda intented to say. Still think that the way I did it is easier to do with less risk of messing up the neckline of the lining by clipping it. It also convinced me that this pattern would have needed a few photos or drawings to make construction clear. <br />Looking forward Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-6797969983822809912018-01-10T00:50:16.825+01:002018-01-10T00:50:16.825+01:00Great blouse and well done for battling through th...Great blouse and well done for battling through the instructions and finishing it. Similar to you I haven't made up this style before as my Style Arc version also requires fabric with 2 sides the same so I really wanted to try this version. Exactly like you I got stuck on the instructions for attaching the lining to the front and it has been put aside as a ufo since then!

Does anyone know why Burda is so scant on the details. We love Burda for their great designs and good pattern-drafting but puhleeze get with the program as far as instructions are concerned.Vancouver Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003537173366037602noreply@blogger.com
