Easter Dress

Happy Easter! I LOVE this dress. It's a 1950s Butterick 5605 pattern with a full skirt, kimono sleeve, with a tied bow in the back. It's so cute and comfortable. For anyone making this dress, WATCH OUT FOR THE KIMONO GUSSET SLEEVES! It was difficult. I really had a lot of help from my grandma and an awesome tutorial that goes step by step. The dress is beautiful and I wore my crocheted gloves. I will post pictures of me wearing it soon. I'm also making a petticoat to wear under it. 

Now what to sew?

Retro Patterns

Butterick Retro B4790- 1952

These are Butterick patterns from their Retro line. My grandma bought them for me (THANK YOU!) and I'm so excited. They should be coming in the mail any day now. The only thing I'm having trouble with is deciding which dress I should make first!
