I have two new Butterick patterns out--just released yesterday! The first is B6094. This is a dress with two skirt options and a surprise in the back.

Boom!

Party in the back.

Version A has a full circle skirt, and an organdy petticoat sewn to the lining. View B is a simple pencil skirt.

The front of the bodice is simple and classic: a boatneck and a midriff. The contrast facings form the fold-back detail in the back, accented by two decorative buttons.

I made the sample version in a very lightweight corduroy, in teal and navy. The buttons are self-covered.
Second, a jacket! B6105 is a cozy wrap jacket that's a great transitional piece.

It has a shawl collar, peplum, pleated sleeve caps for a '40s silhouette, and a bow tie.

It looks great paired with a full skirt. Very Dior, 1947! Just as easy to wear with trousers, a dress, or a slim skirt.

There's a second version that is a coat-length. I envision it being made as a coat dress as well.

The sample is made in a cozy boiled wool with a taffeta lining. This would also be great in a stable ponte knit, or other snuggly wool. Crepe, charmeuse, or even cotton work for the lining. The lining fabric forms the contrast shawl collar and tie.

I hope you like the new designs!
