This is Burda 7205. This is very easy to do. I had looked online for others who had sewed this pattern. Some said that it was frumpy and I think that is because where they had you put the elastic. There is way too much length in the top. If I sew this again I will put the casing below the waist by about one inch.
I used wide silver elastic instead of putting the elastic in a casing, and I cut the elastic for the size 12 and the rest of the pattern at 44. If you like your dresses tighter you would probably be able to go down a size. I always add length to the hem (I'm 5'8"). The dress was cut on the straight grain not the bias, no problems there.
Fabric from JoAnne's (this year) and handbag by Jonathan Adler.
