This pattern was very simple. Easy and quick to make. The Burda instructions stumped me on the front slit facing but I found this tutorial which was pretty helpful. Otherwise it was pretty easy and came out looking really nice and well constructed. 

I love this shirt pattern its simple but so pretty. You can wear this shirt as a work shirt with a skirt over the top or just casually over jeans. Its a baggy fit so no need to worry about it being too tight or clingy and the bow front makes it so girly and cute.

Each shirt is made with 100% Cotton. 

I think the pattern tells you to make the Bow part really big. My bow was only half the width (18cm). I recommend checking the bow size and just making sure you are happy with the outcome. 

After making the first one I also cut the front slit facing from 23cm long to about 15cm long. It didn't really need to be that long as the shirt was a pretty baggy fit and you can get it over your head without the long front slit. 

Finally, I also made the shirt a little bit longer so I can wear over jeans. I found the first one I made was a little short for my liking but figured I could just wear a skirt over the top.
