Pleat neck dress Butterick B5382, Me-Made-May'15 Day 17

Dear sewing fellows,

The wonderful pleat neck dresses of The Slapdash Sewist were the inspiration for this dress.


Sadly, I could not find such a great borderprint fabric like her's but chose a plain colour.

I chose the size-grading after my measurements but had to take in 2x2cm at the sideseams plus had to deepen the darts. The neckline pleating took some time to get it alright.


Pattern: Butterick B5382
Size: 10- 12 sleeves-14 hip (afterwards taken in 2x2cm and deepend darts at waist level)
Fabric: viscose jersey
Omitted the zip, neck facing instead of lining.

To avoid the muffin-top effect, I am wearing selfmade undies, pattern made after the favorites of a sewing fellow. I made the top out of an elastic lace without sewing an additional elastic at the waist. This way, there isn't anything cutting my upper hips. The little bow I made out of the fabric after Mema's tutorial.

Have you seen Carolyn's new Superwoman's undies?

I am going to poke around the lovely memade garments at flickr!

  5. Danke, Luzie! Ich war erst enttäuscht, dass ich keinen Borderprint gefunden habe, aber der Schnitt ist auch in uni schön.
    Liebe Grüße, SaSa
