My latest sewing venture continued in my recent pattern of not using directions/one pattern. This one combined two patterns, Butterick 6582 and 5603. I really like the bottom of 6582 and have used it on a few dresses now. The fit is fantastic on it and I love the lines. The top of the dress is much higher on my neck than I wanted though. I thought the neckline of C on 5603 would be what I wanted, so I started with that.
What ended up happening is the neckline was just as high as the other pattern! So I lowered it to make the neckline I wanted. I also made the darts deeper, and sewed down the overlay. It turned out really well and I can’t wait to wear it… though I need some hooks and eyes before I can wear it out… I really need to get those.
The fabric is red and green although it looks orange when put all together.
Sometime I should redraw the top of this pattern on some paper so I can easily make it again another time. That would make the most sense anyways.

I’m in the mood to make a trench coat. But I don’t have any of the right fabric around here. And there aren’t any fabric stores close by me. Fail all around.
