Butterick dress 5456

Pattern Description: Dress - Loose-fitting, pullover dress has lined bodice with back ties, scoop neck, gathered skirt and elastic casing. Come s with two versions knee length and maxi.

Pattern Sizing: BB(8-10-12-14), F5([****])

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? Yes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the back opening. It's not very big and you can still wear a bra and it won't be visible. I disliked that the armhole openings are too big.

Fabric Used: 0.6 m of block print jersey, 0.7 m of plain black jersey, 1.5 m medium stretch lining

Notions: 1m of 1 1/4 inch (3cm) wide elastic - colour black

Sewing time: approx 3h including tracing the pattern pieces

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I chose the size to make using the finished garment measurements – cut size 12 and used a seam allowance of 0.6 cm. Also only cut one set of the bottom back dress for view A and added as one would add a cuff to a sleeve.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, with some more changes

Watch out for: the armholes are a bit too big and revealing. Next time I am making this dress I will raise the armholes by about 2-3 cm so that my bra does not peek out. Also, the ease allowance is quite high, I made a size 12 (though my measurements put me in size 14) and found the dress a bit on the large side.
