A review of Butterick Dress B6318

I made this dress as my entry to the Little Red Dress project. I wanted to finally use this lovely red cotton that has been in my stash for two years. Since it is such a special fabric, I decided to make a toile of the bodice of the dress. Glad that I did so. I needed to grade between sizes to have the fit right. In the end it was worth the extra effort. I think this dress fits very nicely.

This is a fairly simple and quick dress to make. Since it doesn’t have separate sleeves, pockets or anything else extra, the construction is simple. However, it does have this nice belt that gives the dress some character. It has a vintage look but not too much so. I think it is well suited for modern life.

I would recommend this pattern to anyone who loves vintage dresses. Just note that it is worth the effort to check the measurements couple of times and make a toile.
