Burda Style Pattern 9286 Babies' Dress – Shirtdress– with band finishing

Looking for a charming dressmaking pattern for a girls' dress? Burda Style Pattern 9286 gives you a practical starting point for a comfortable, wearable shirtdress with a neat band finish.

This easy sewing pattern is a great choice if you want a straightforward project that still leaves room for variation. Inside the envelope you’ll find two versions, so you can make a dress that suits your style. The illustrated instructions guide you step by step and make the sewing process clear and manageable.

Burda patterns are known for their useful details, and this one includes length information for the finished garment, fabric recommendations, fabric consumption, and allowances for seams and hems. Handy symbols such as grainline markings and pattern numbers help you organise your cutting and sewing with confidence.

For the best result, choose a fabric that suits the look and feel you want. A lightweight cotton fabric is ideal for warmer days, while a softly draping linen fabric or a fabric with a little more structure can give the dress a different character. This pattern works beautifully with dressmaking fabric that feels comfortable and is easy to wear.

Designed for children in sizes 104 to 146, this Burda sewing pattern is a versatile option for creating a lovely dress that can be dressed up or kept casual. A simple project, plenty of possibilities, and a result you’ll be proud to make.
