I so wish I'd had this dress ready in time for all the autumn colors, but at least I'll have it for next autumn. I can't resist a nautical print, especially in color this lovely and I was trying out the new Butterick Retro pattern and this time I put the V in the neckline. I also made the optional bow for the front, but rather than attaching it, I glued it to a brooch backing so that I could use it or not as I choose. I really like the way this fabric lays on the skirt. For my Walking on the Moon post, the direction of the print was noticeably on its side, but this one is more subtle and has a softer effect. I'm really pleased with how easy this pattern is and I would definitely recommend it if you're interested in learning to sew. It's a timeless style with basic sewing and only 4 pieces for the shell and the same 4 for the lining. So simple! If you decide to make this pattern, be sure to use the contact me link so I can post your pics!
