Sassy Time!
Thanks to all my gal pals for giving me the pep talk in my last blog entry, because it got me to take pictures!
Love you all!

Mine is done from my personal plus size kimono sleeve sloper. So I have side bust darts for fitting. I also have shorter sleeves, which Butterick does not have. I traced the basic shape of the Butterick neck onto my sloper, and used the Butterick collar exactly as drafted. I am very pleased with it and will be making more of these. I think I would like to do a print with it. I would like a print with a solid collar on the inside and some solid trim.
People tell me I look good in red....not sure...but I definitely got comments at work. Mostly about how "bright" the red was. Hey if you can't handle the heat- get out of the kitchen! Hot Tamale!
Side zip is not seen here, but it's there =-)
See all the extra room Kimono sleeves have? For me, I think this is the best I can get the fit without loosing ease. Those folds are ease that I can't get away with taking out- without serious movement restriction.
Happy Sewing!

You look great. I bought the pattern during one of Joann's sales. I haven't made it for fear of what it would look like but you look great. I love the red.

You do look good in red - you have the confidence to wear it. Great dress and I like the kimono sleeves. Did you make gussets at the underarm?
