Butterick 4743 Finished
Butterick 4743[1970's pattern]
This dress was really simple to make and very comfortable to wear.. Sorry the
photos do not pick it up very well..
Thankyou Doobee.. I didn't alter the sleeve length..This was the pattern length [Probably because it it is a 70's pattern]. I really like the fabric. I had it in my stash for a looooooooong time, and forgot ,I had it.. Does that tell you,I have TOO much fabric.lol
Judy I love your finished dress! It's perfect for spring, really lovely. I think your photos are very nice too, you looks so happy! Well done my friend, a beautiful dress that you can wear for many occasions. Plus a good easy pattern, now that's perfect!
Thankyou Cathe, The photo really didn't show it well.. It was so windy, it was hard to get a photo..[plus poor ole Kenny , don't have much to photograph.lol]. The dress is really comfortable.. I wore it to church with heels and stockings, I came in and put on flip flops and headed to the store.. So, it will definitely be an all around dress. And I love that it was so easy to make.. I find that the 70's patterns I have found, are really easy..
I am sorry I missed this one. I just figured out how to follow your blog. I never noticed the follow button at the top. Hehe. Anyway this dress is just what I am looking for easy, pretty and comfortable. It's perfect!
Thankyou Gina, I really liked this pattern.. It was really simple and easy to wear. Next time, I think I will change the collar..Its kinda big.. but otherwise,like it just the way it is..
That is SUCH a lovely dress. It looks like you can wear it anywhere by dressing it up or down. Your photos are gorgeous and the red shoes are so sweet. I love that fabric, I think I have some in my stash too!
That looks professional!
