Butterick 9514

This is my pattern.
This is my horrible, ugly dress.

Problems:

1. Fabric choice- this is why people say quilter's cotton looks homemade. When poorly chosen, it really does.

2. This pattern was a 14, and I am a 12. I need to try to not delude myself in the future, and just grade the pattern down.

3. The busy print hides all of the cute details. Can you even see the skirt is fully pleated top to bottom? Can you see the cute dropped waist with scalloped edges?

It all comes down to operator error....
