This dress is gorgeous! And I also have made two versions of Butterick 6051 and had a terrible time fitting both bodices (different views, different cup sizes, same headscratching with ease or lack thereof). So I might use this idea going forward because I agree, the skirt portion is great! That square neckline from the Wanted top is lovely too. Thank you for the inspiration on how to keep using a pattern that I had previously sworn off!<br /><br />-Caroline/@carobanano on IGUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537635841598337930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400826347245670815.post-57815525606615065502020-04-21T13:29:55.963+01:002020-04-21T13:29:55.963+01:00Thank you!

The Wanted top is only in French, but because it's such a simple knit project you only really need instructions for the square-front neckband and I found the diagrams to be informative enough not to need the words! Someone on YouTube (I think Stitch my Style? Something like that) has done a tutorial video in English as well.
