Butterick 5523


Pattern: Butterick 5523 (Muse dress) Size 8


Website:Dark teal Sophia Doubleknit fabric.com


Shoes:  Crocs (Macy's, current season)  


   Notes:Are OK to Butterick - enter! after 2 fails, I finally found a winning Butterick patterns.  The last 2 only bad decisions on my part were granted.  This dress has everything that a rolled me like a dress - collar, 3 / 4 length sleeves and an empire waist (controversial as you are, work on me for some reason.)  



 This dress was a very simple sew - I would say it was a 4-hour project.  I make no muslin (like me for rope.)What I do instead is the order of sew change.  I sew shoulders together, flat set in sleeves and sew then the rock pieces on the Corsair but I wait until the end, the side seams and the sleeve seam in one pass to nähen.So, if I must make adjustments that I don't have any overlapping seams.  I baste the side seams for the first time to see fit.  There I have to take 1/2? total pages (6 / 8 seams instead of 5 / 8 make.) decided in this case actually to fit but I wanted you sure that in case there be stretched.  


The only thing that was long taken slip-stitching-down collar.  I recommend take your time and carefully pinning - dont you want to rotate it or it looks more like a habit (notice the pattern looks photo out as a CAP, but the fishing version (see below) is much clearer.)  Perhaps it would remain it to get a few extra stitches to clean to secure.   I actually managed to my right thumb does to charge the Handsewing on this dress (I have now found Handsewing does me worse than something...)  (I'm guessing there are not many tailoring in my future!)



A caution the Sophia knit was again very nice. - I found that I needed with the dark color, use to a press cloth to avoid shine iron (I made my own out of a square of silk Organza… it takes high heat well, but it is transparent.)The pattern was ok instructions for knits, because it actually realized that it need not zip!I don't know why all the BMV patterns tell Doublestitch your seams.I use a narrow zigzag on my regular machine.I rarely Serge knit I use my serger more running seams as all focusing pattern for finishing a bit short I took a narrow hem than is required, and I like this length, but I'm used to patterns that you more to play.



If I any criticism of the pattern is it looks ok, the back - I suppose, but I feel that there should be less netted or collects, that perhaps the depth change could. I have not the tab button Add but, it's not still only dekorative.Ich could even look me so I decided, it is worth noting that the model in the photos was better off without war.Es I actual Muse dress mighty funny in the rear view is, so I imagine the problem with the design, not the pattern ist.Es is no big deal for me anyway.


It don't is probably too warm for this dress today (it should be in the mid-1970s), but I care - I a night test in a cold Theatre, have so I would rather warm! this pattern is really strongly recommended - it's a great dress for the winter!
