Sunday’s Best | Butterick 6014

Hey guys!! The past few days have been I N S A N E. I’m supposed to board a plane in the next few hours and I have NOT packed. EEEEKKKKK

This is a quick review of a dress I wore to church yesterday.

Someone asked me how do I pick what I want to wear…easy, by the shoes I’m feeling at the moment lol

I decided to pair this purple pleated peplum dress (try saying that three times fast) with pops of neon. I’m CLEARLY smitten with all things neon these days lol.

I love how versatile this dress is. It will be the perfect dress to transition over into the fall (yes I know we are smack dab in the middle of an Alabama summer lol).

Since my accessories are SO bright I kept them pretty simple with a thin belt, bracelets and a statement necklace.

Dress: DIY Butterick 6014

Accessories: Adrienne’s Essentials (I think there is one of these necklaces left)

Shoes: Krush (can’t find the link)

For those of you who sew, here is a pattern review:

Pattern Sizing: 6-14

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 didn’t read them at all.

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

Fabric Used: This fabric is THICK. It’s almost like a neoprene…and textured. Best of both worlds.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did NOT line this dress. I did make the sleeves longer and used the same fabric for self lining.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will sew this one again. The sizing is weird. I made my normal 12 and didn’t put this dress on until I was ready to leave for church. It’s BIG. Not too big that I didn’t want to wear it but I noticed it. If I make this again, I’m going to stitch the pleats down. I’m not sure if that was in the directions but I will def do that when I make it again.

Conclusion: Great pattern. Make a muslin first with this one to check size. I will make a muslin when I make this one again.
