 Hi guys, it's Lindsay and welcome back to my channel Inside the Hymn. I'm here today on behalf of Stylemaker Fabrics as they are hosting their biannual fabric blog tour. It's been a while since I've done a pattern and fabric review so I'm so excited to show you my latest make. I swear it's been warm and sunny here, but on film day all I had to work with was clouds and a little rain. But warmer weather will be here soon and this dress is going to be one I reach for again and again. So let's start with a fabric that makes this whole dress come together. The substrate is rayon poplin, which might be something you haven't seen before. Poplin is a strong fabric in a plain weave with crosswise ribs, that's really hard to say, that typically give a corded surface. And when it's made with rayon, you get the most perfect lightweight fabric with slightly more weight and structure than the more common rayon shelly. The design is a really cool tropical palm and floral motif that just screams resort chic. When combined, the tropical print and rayon poplin create the most perfect canvas for your next summer sundress. The pattern is hot off the presses of Butteryk's new spring collection. B6554 is a fitted wrap dress with length and sleeve variations. I opted for review C as I wanted to highlight the drape and weight of this fabric as much as possible. And there's no better way to do that than with miles and miles of flounces. I mean, just look at that hem. I made no alterations to the front bodice, which says a lot for a wrap dress. To me, it's drafted perfectly. I did, however, alter the back a smidge. I found that the elasticated upper back seam was drooping on my muslin, so instead of tying the halter straps behind my neck, I crossed them in the back and attached them to the back bodice piece. The entire process of fitting this bodice is documented in an Instagram highlight. There's a link to my bio to access my page and the highlight is featured right above the grid. Go check it out to see how the original design fit. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the skill level of this pattern. Butteryk gives it an easy sewing rating, but in my opinion, those flounces bump it up to moderate. Pea hems are very delicate and take some patience, if not a little bit of skill. And easing in the flounce is much like easing in a giant princess seam. So, if you think you have those two skills mastered, then you'll have no problem with this pattern. If not, you might find this pattern to be a little bit frustrating. But just take your time, be patient, and you'll get it. In the end, I'm in love with my new dress. My boyfriend says of all the things I've ever made, it's one of his favorites. And I really think that's just because it's a great pattern made in the perfect fabric. I hope you all like it as much as I do. I will see you all very soon. Bye!
