Back of the Closet | Butterick 5916

Hey y’all! Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Mine was busy as usual but overall superb!
I went way to the back of my closet for this dress that I made in September 2013. If I keep a dress THAT long, I really love it.

This is such a colorful and busy print that I kept my shoes and accessories VERY simple.

Accessories: Necklace(old) Forever 21, Bracelets:(old) Adrienne’s Essentials Accessories

Shoes: (old) Boutique9

Pattern Sizing: 8-16

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I followed these instructions step by step so for the review and they are very clear and well written.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style of this dress.

Fabric Used: Stretch cotton sateen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: The original length of this dress is not flattering on me so I shortened it by 5 inches. I also thought the front opening to be a LITTLE less than modest on me so I tacked mine closed. Didn’t want any oopsie moments lol

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don’t think I will make this again. Too many dresses, not enough time lol. I do highly recommend this if it is your style.

Conclusion:Great pattern. Well drafted and went together very well.
