Dress Me Again

Dear Constant Reader,

Last year I ran a little contest where you, my Constant Reader, picked which dress I should make from my vast collection of unused patterns and I would blog about it.

The winner was Folkwear Fifties Fit & Flair. Unfortunately, it was not so successful… Live, learn, and make muslins first.

But I’m willing to try again!

For the next week, I’m going to let you pick what dress I should make next. Just leave a comment below and the dress with the most votes wins! I’ll make that one and keep you updated on my progress from fabric to wearable, hopefully with lots of pictures. Please specify which version of the pattern you like, if there’s more than one variation. Click the picture to go to the full description.

The candidates are :

Butterick 4790	Butterick 4919
Butterick 5281	Butterick 5556
Butterick 5557	Butterick 5813
Butterick 5882	Butterick 6582
Craftsy Bombshell Dress No picture because it’s a class	Sew Chic Tia Dress (also a Craftsy class)
Decades of Style 1933 Evening Gown	Decades of Style 1930s Leading Lady Gown

So, you have until next Monday to leave a comment with your vote!

Either of the 1930s gowns, because I haven’t seen anyone do those before! If I had to pick an order…
1. decades of style evening gown
2. decades of style leading lady gown.

I like the 4919. Second choice would be the 5556, but unlike Heather I prefer the version without the pointy collar. I admit to being a sucker for big skirts.
