I took the top from Butterick 5429 and the skirt from 5353 to make this dress. It’s a little bigger than it has to be, just because I wanted to be able to pull this on and off without a zipper. I like the roominess, though—a no-fuss option for a warm day.

great one, the neckline-twist-thing looks really nice and I can totally understand avoiding a zipper ;-) looks great a little more loose, I think
