Butterick 5917
Happy Halloween! I finally got to wear the Butterick dress #5917 today. This is fabric acquired from Fabric Mart, a wool rayon in navy blue, late 2012. I lined the dress with lining fabric from stash as well.

And finally the finished dress
I lined the full dress though pattern only calls for bodice to be lined. I used 3 yards of fabric and lining combined.

Love your dress.Looks great on you. Happy sewing.
When I saw this dress on your blog, I fell in love with it. I like everything about it. Thanks for sharing a beautiful dress.
What a beautiful dress! I like the ruffle detail, the whole item looks so elegant.
Linda, this is just a stunning dress - the midnight blue looks gorgeous on you. It was worth lining all through - you have made the dress so nicely it would have been a shame not to.
Linda, this is so gorgeous in the midnight blue!
Pretty dress! You look elegant in it :)
Yeah so I bought this pattern and ended up putting it in a box to send to my sister. I send her patterns I no longer want. Welp, I'm pulling it back out? LOL
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you. It is a nice pattern to sew.
The ruffles are what drew me to this pattern. Thank your for your comments
Thanks Sarah! The dress met the wearability test- no pulling, not a lot of wrinkling due to the lining.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I think you will enjoy sewing it. Good instructions and pattern pieces align well.
