  Oh, my! I love that dress… I am going backwards in Projects section, plus sometimes stray to a particular member’s creations if I like a couple of their works (as it happened with you), so I have already seen a couple of variations of this pattern. And I love yours!!!! It’s soooo light and feminine!!!!

  Oh my god! I think my grandma has this pattern, but the original 50’s one. I’ve been thinking about making it for a while but the the picture of the front is just kind of funny and it’s in this bright blue that makes it look childish. But I love yours! I can’t wait to dig it out of her basement and make it now.

  as you mentioned, you made a few other versions, dressier and more casual. Would you mind posting a pic or two of those? Thanks.

  beautiful. I so need to try again to make this for my wife. It’s interesting you had to open the neck up. I need to close it down for my wife. Maybe because she is so small framed. Regardless, thank you for showing the steps of putting it on and it’s a beautiful creation. Your fabric choice fits it very nicely.

  It’s a Butterick B4790. I made it for myself a few years ago, but the fabric was much too heavy. I’ve since taken it to pieces. My brother, however, saw the dress as I was making it, and I ended up making it in black and white for my sister-in-law (my brother’s wife) for their wedding ceremony. Definitely needs a lighter weight fabric as there’s a lot of fabric in the dress.

  Awesome dress, fit, and styling! I’ve seen this pattern but didn’t think it would fit me, but it certainly does you!

    i cut mine and wish I hadn’t. I would much rather have traced it and then made adjustments, now I’m missing grading I wish I had… toolittle too late :)

  PS!! I altered the neckline of the original pattern as I like a lower, more open neck.
