Looking for a relaxed summer project? The Burda sewing pattern 5721 lets you make either a women’s dress with straps and side pockets, or a top with a smocked neckline and spaghetti straps. It is a very easy pattern, ideal if you are new to sewing or simply want a quick and satisfying make.

Two versatile summer styles

You can sew this pattern as a breezy dress for warm days or as a pretty top that works beautifully with jeans or wide-leg trousers. The dress includes practical side pockets and the length can be adapted to suit your style. The top has a smocked neckline and fine spaghetti straps for a light, feminine look.

Easy to sew and easy to wear

This dressmaking fabric project is designed for women in sizes 36 to 46. The simple construction makes it a great choice for confident beginners, while the clean lines and summer feel make it a useful addition to your wardrobe. Choose a lightweight fabric by the metre for the best result.

Fabric advice

Lightweight summer fabrics work best, especially soft, flowing non-stretch fabrics such as cotton fabric or linen fabric. A fine silk is also a lovely option if you want a more elegant finish. The smocked neckline will look its best in a drapey fabric with some structure.
