Butterick 6168 - A little too sweet for me?

Here is my finished Butterick 6168 - a Lisette dress.  I like the dress itself, but I think the print may be a little too on the "sweet floralish" side for me.


The fabric is a light green rayon with a cream leaf print on it.  I picked it up at the Sewing Garage Sale a few years ago and finally paired it with this pattern.

Note to self - don't take pics in the bright sunshine - it's too hard to look at the camera!

I fully lined the dress with a cream bemberg rayon that just feels glorious on your skin.  

I like the little tab in the front....

And the pleats and cross over style of the bodice.  I'm just not sure the entire garment is really my style.

I'll wear a few times and then determine it's final outcome.  Anyways, this will knock a few more yards off of the stash!  Here are my latest stats:

Latest Stashbustin' Stats:

Yardage for this dress (including lining) = 3.75 yards
YTD yards sewn = 30 yards
Remaining yardage to reach 100 yard goal = 70 yards

Happy sewing everyone!

    I think it's very pretty and looks good on you. But if you don't feel like it's you, you probably won't like wearing it.

      Thanks Beverly. I’ll probably wear it a few times and then decide. Funny though that I tend to get lots of compliments when I wear pastel colors, which isn’t very often.
