Butterick 6211 - Done!
May. 2nd, 2016 11:45 pmI finished the Butterick dress this afternoon. That said, no pictures yet - I'll wear it tomorrow so that I can get some pics of it. It fits quite well now, though I didn't fix the one funky bust dart on the back-to-front wrap piece. But I redid my shoulders, taking it up 1.75" on each side by the neckline, tapering to 1.5" taken up by the time it got to the armseye. I also took up the hem of the front section by 1.5" on the sides, tapering to nothing taken up by the CF. Besides the bust-to-neckline darts I made yesterday, the only other change I made was to put in four buttons on each side instead of three. I don't know how they expected to have the front section look right with only three buttons and no interfacing. It hardly looks right with four buttons and added interfacing.
Anyway, overall, although this pattern does make a cute dress, I do not recommend this pattern. I honeslty don't see how it would fit right on anyone at all.
