This is another Butterick 6820, a full Butterick 6820, much much more recent than Wednesday’s.
It is a really fun dress, isn’t it?
I love the combination of mustard and red (this is some fabric I purchased in Japan):
The collar turned out okay, not great:
The sleeves:
The most significant problem with this dress is that the sleeve wings make it challenging to throw a cardigan on over it — you get lumpy unpleasant bunching best at the bicep.
The pockets are HUGE:
I did another side-placket zipper with this one, mostly because I didn’t have a red unnoticeable zipper handy:
Here’s the back:
I expect now that I’ve made two bird-themed Butterick 6820s I ought to be on the lookout for one much more birdish fabric to use, right? because good things come in threes?
