Butterick 5058 dress with lengthened sleeves, facings in beige knit. Dress is black scuba knit. Same as this one.

 Butterick 5147 dress for my daughter in African fabric purchased in Ghana by a friend during travels. This is the same as here. The sleeves and hemline were lengthened.

The top is Simplicity 3704 with front neck slit and side slits and lengthened three-quarter length sleeves.

Simple Colorful Dress

Butterick 5058 loose-fitting, pullover, slightly A-line dress with bust darts. This is the same pattern as here.

 

Alterations: Added 5" to sleeves

 

In the near future, I'd like to make the top as I really enjoy the comfort of this dress.






 

Quick and Comfy!

Pattern:  Butterick 5058 printed in 1997 is a loose-fitting, pullover, slightly A-line dress, below mid-knee.  This is View C made in black Ponte knit.

Adjustments: Lengthen the front and back facings since I didn't line it. After sewing the sides together, I went back and removed 1" from the sides.

 Sizing: up to 32W

This is what I quickly made to wear to the funeral on last Saturday. I hand hemmed the sleeves and hem because it makes a nicer finish. It is so comfy that I think I'd like a few more in my closet. Of course, they need to be in a nice knit.
