Butterick pattern 6318-E5

Butterick pattern 6318-E5 is a dress sewing pattern with a classic, feminine silhouette and an elegant fit. It is a rewarding project for confident beginners as well as more experienced sewists who want a polished result with a vintage feel. This pattern includes a 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to cut seam allowances separately. The design features a semi-fitted bodice, short dolman sleeves, wide single-layer tie ends, a narrow hem, a full gathered skirt and a back zipper. View B includes contrast tie ends. With its clean lines and timeless shape, this dress pattern gives you plenty of scope to choose the right dressmaking fabric and create a look that suits your style. For the best drape and finish, choose a fabric that works well with the silhouette and check the grainline before cutting. A toile may also help you test the fit before you begin your final make. Ideal if you are looking for a dress pattern with a distinctive retro-inspired feel.
