as with this Butterick 5602 view A, pattern.
I had this psychedelic paisley cotton in my stash now for a couple of years & have made sachets with them & thought how lovely a dress would look.
I also had this tangerine satin crepe that I thought would be fun for the lining. The black contrast was Ponte de Roma knit so there is total mix of fabrics being used. I am really trying to use the fabric I already own. There was quite a bit of hand sewing & the bow pattern instructions did not make any sense to me.
I have used this pattern before to make View C of this dress (chambray denim) which turned out O.K. Now that I have made 2 dresses I realize that some patterns are not for your body type.....this being one of them.
I have moved on though, continuing with my love for paisley with this pink Silk paisley that I thrifted & am making it work.....into a dress, of course!

That fabric is wild! Great dress.
I think, by the fit of the denim one you probably could use a FBA - so do I but I never do one! Seems like too much trouble but I'm going to start soon as I can't bear any more ill fitted dresses! Having said that I think the fabrics are fantastic and I love the zip - can we see it on?
