Next Time, Butterick, I'm Coming For You...

Because I am trying both to conserve money and not to add any more sewing projects to my to-do list, I passed up on the Butterick $1 pattern sale at Hancock's this past week. And it's not like I would have gone in their blind. I knew exactly which ones I wanted, in fact, this first pattern has been on and off my wish list for over a year now.

Mostly, for the little capelet but the dress isn't bad either.



I saw this 3.1 Philip Lim dress in Lucky and couldn't get it out of my mind and then I saw this...

on Lindsay T's blog and with the pattern's addition of belt loops, I like this one even better! I also adore the little red jacket.

What does this remind me of? This vintage pattern, that I have tried SO HARD to love with no success. Perhaps, I could take this new one and alter it to recreate the looks on the vintage one? I'm so lovin' the banded V-neck too!

Can you guess why I like this one? Yes, it's practically the Anda dress!



Of course I won't be buying this one because I already have the pattern and can easily add pockets or the gathered sleeve cap to the Burdastyle pattern myself. I will definitely be making more of this dress again.

    The Anda is such a great look for you, too. I helped someone with their Butterick reprint pattern -- not the one featured in your post -- a few weeks ago and we were all stumped as to fit (she has a very extreme hourglass shape so the bust was creating some interesting gappage). So I'm thinking it's only worth tackling if you really can't live without the dress and are ready for one or more muslins...
