Butterick 5634 Ruffled Dress

I saw this pattern the last time I was at JoAnn’s and couldn’t resist. I finally got around to finishing it.

 

 

I made view B/C with the self-fabric belt.

 

 

 

I really like how it turned out. I used a fabric I’ve had in stash for a few years. It was one that my then-husband bought me to make him a shirt. I figure this is a better use of it. This is one of those A/B, C, D cup patterns. It’s interesting to look at the difference between the A/B and the D.

 

 

One funny thing is I was at JoAnn’s looking for a long blue zipper. When I came home, I looked in my zipper stash and a navy long zipper appeared out of nowhere. I really like how fitted the back is and I made zero adjustments.

 

Here’s a better picture of the fabric.

 

 

Here’s the nostril shot. Lovely, eh? Once I sewed on the ruffles, I flattened them with the iron so they weren’t so puffy. The V looks really crooked here but it’s not this bad for really. I do think it’s just a tad off but you can see from the top picture, that it doesn’t look like this.

School starts tomorrow (ack!) and I’m wearing this. I’m not really excited too much.
