Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Fifty with a twist!!! Butterick pattern B5780 for the top and B5556 for the bottom.
I love the top part of this pattern but wanted to make a long fifty style dress. Well I just mixed the patterns and here is the result. I really love it and it feels so good.

Do you know how to gather in place of darts? I have a pattern which I drafted for knits with 1/8 ease, so I wanted to gather instead of darts which I think would leave extra room in addition to the minimal ease I left?

Nicely done, I like the way your overall design really pairs well with the vibe of the print.. I’m thinking polka dots are in my near future :)
