You look great in that pattern. Keep in mind the more sophisticated the dress, the more steps it will have. All those steps give you a nice construction!
Thank you for your review. I also have this pattern and upon reading it , I had to put it away because it was confusing. I now get patterns that I have seen sew alongs and reviews for. Gathering all the information I then determine if it is worth my time. I’m not trying to retire just making one dress! I feel your pain….but it does look adorable on you and the fabric is beautiful. I just found your channel and love your energy. Look at the Love Notions patterns…they are so great to sew and they have much support, should you need it. Also made 6 yes 6 of the Lola dress (bought on Etsy) and I get so MANY compliments every time I wear one of them. Happy sewing & hugs from south Florida 💋💨
You're welcome. Exactly, so confusing! LOL!😂Yep, this one almost put me into retirement for sure! I'll have to check out Love Notions patterns as well as that Lola dress! Sounds really cute for you to make it 6 times! Happy sewing! 💕
The dress came out cute!! Butterick patterns are not all bad. I made Butterick 6703, it is also a wrap dress. Pretty straight forward and really cute. Not sure if it is still in print, worth checking out.
Thank for your review. It would be more helpful though if you could be more specific about what steps in the pattern were confusing and what you did to solve it.
I've had this pattern for years and I remember reading the instructions and putting in back never got to it yours turned out beautifully. I would say give Butterick another try tho they have some good ones
Hi l loved you review unfortunately I’d already started the dress prior to watching this . Now it’s taken me a week and l haven’t even finished. The instructions are awful, l will persist and finish eventually but Oh my Lord what a nightmare. There’s a lot going on and it could have been easier if the instructions were clearer , l know what you mean by winging it . I do however love the style of the dress and yours turned out beautifully.❤️
Thank you! Yes, I think they should completely redo those directions. 🤦🏽♀️ It definitely could have been easier. It’s such a cute dress. I’m sure yours will turn out great, just go with your gut. 💕
I have bought the fabric, pattern and have cut out the tissue pieces - beginning to wish I hadn't bothered lol as I can see I will get easily frustrated and it will end up in the scrap pile. Think I need to look for another pattern.

Lol! I had to keep it real with you guys. 😂 Thanks! 💕

Thank you! Glad to know they’re not all that way. I’ll have to look into 6703. Thanks!
I love Butterick patterns I read the instructions before I cut it out and write on the sheet the ways I will sew it
Nice! Thx
The dress looks beautiful on you.
Thank you!
Glad you stuck with it! Your dress is beautiful! Too bad the process was not as enjoyable.
IKR! Thank you. This dress gave me a time and a half!
Looks great on you. I'm glad you saw it through to completion.
Thanks! Me too. It was a labor of love. 😂

You’re welcome! I’ll keep that in mind.
Ooops! I just bought fabric and this pattern and I am not an experienced sewist. Yours turned out lovely so i will except the challenge. Great review.
I’m sure it will turn out great! Just take your time. Thanks, and happy sewing! 🪡
This pattern “worked my nerves” too. And it’s still in time out. Your’s is beautiful.
“still in time out” 😂 That’s a good way to put it! Thanks 💕

I probably should have done the same.😂Thanks!
the dress is super cute and flattering-- great review!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! It turned out beautiful!
Thank you!
Same here, it was the worst pattern for me.
Your dress look great.
The worst… 😂 Thanks!
Beautiful! I have the pattern and my Mom made it and said that it was a doozy🥴
Lol! She’s right! Thanks 💕
Beautiful dress. Looks gorgeous
Thank you!

Butterick patterns can be a pain in the butt at times.
Good to know! 😂

Oh no, not the scrap pile! Maybe try it out, you may surprise yourself…lol😂
Doc Sophia--PLEASE do a sew-along when you sew this one up again. I stop reading the pattern instruction sheet and poured a glass of 🍷 😕
Lol! 😂
What did you do when the instructions mentioned elastic on seam? It didnt say the whole elastic or how to put it on... i was so lost 😂
I was lost too! I ended up making my own elastic casing at the bodice/skirt seam and feeding the elastic through. Hope that helps 💕
I just bought this and now I'm scared
Oh no! All I can say is, just take it one step at a time and try not to get frustrated. You can do it!
I am sewing McCall's 7406 and the instructions on this pattern are not correct 🥴😔🤣🤣🤣
I 100% agree! 😂
