Welcome to my pattern giveaway! I am giving away this reproduction pattern Butterick 5281. The design is originally from 1946. I think this pattern would look great sewed up in a fluid fabric like silk charmeuse or even velvet. I have seen it made in some stiffer cottons and in my opinion it's not as flattering to the design. It's a pattern designed for intermediate sewing skills. The pattern I am offering is on the smaller size being AA which include sizes 6 through 12. Since this pattern has a lot of ease I would probably cut it in a size smaller but of course, I would recommend you do a muslin first. I haven't yet made this pattern , because I have two copies of it and haven't gotten to it yet! But I want to make it in silk charmeuse or a vintage rayon.
