This is my version of Butterick 5032.
I finished the project a couple of years ago,
but this poor dress has been extremely neglected. With Fall upon us, and cold weather closing
in, I thought I would pull her out for one last fling before next year.
I have also used the capelet as a cover-up for an
embroidered cotton summer dress with quite a bit of success.

I was expecting to make the sheath dress and cummerbund,
however, my fabric did not cooperate with me, and the cummerbund idea was
abandoned. In order to cover the skirt back, which had some fit issues, I used a contrasting cotton sateen and went
from there. I am actually happier with
my cobbled together version than I probably would have been with my original
idea. I love when mistakes turn out to
be for the best!
