 Hi you guys! Welcome back to another week of First Impression Friday, my video series where I review an entire sewing pattern collection. This week we'll be looking at the brand new patterns from Butterick. This is their summer collection. If you are new here, welcome! My name is Lindsay. I sew all my own clothes and I inspire you to do the same. I encourage you to leave a comment introducing yourself so that I can get to know you a little bit better and give you a formal welcome. All right let's see what good old Butterick has in store for us. At this point I kind of feel like the Big Four has gotten back to what their sort of brand mission is all about. It was a little bit chaotic there for a minute but I feel like all the pattern companies and designers have settled back into what they know best and Butterick as with New Look has always been one of my absolute favorites. So hopefully we will see some more things that I absolutely have to have in this collection. This first one is a Mrs. Kaptan. I think we're gonna see every single summer no matter what. They are just go-to sewing patterns. They're easy and make a big big impact in terms of the drama department. This one is a V-neck Kaptan. It has a drawstring waist with hem and length variations. View A has a ruffled collar. I do love a ruffle. You can see here when we zoom in it's kind of an empire waist right where the drawstring is way up high right underneath the breast versus being at the natural waist. We have this full grown-on sleeve perfect for these kinds of fabrics. This one happens to be a border print in addition to one that just has really big sort of pattern to it. This is the V-neck. I'm 99% sure there is some kind of facing in there and then we've got maybe like baby hems. Yeah you can see the hem over here. Just rolled under twice. Here is a length variation and the ruffled collar. So this one has a pointed hem. Not my favorite. I just think this is like an arrow pointing down and it feels a little bit literal. I don't know. I'm probably reading into it too much but yeah I don't know. But wearing it over like a legging is an interesting concept. This one like I said has the ruffle so it does feel a little bit more like clothing rather than like just a swimsuit cover-up. I kind of also see it as like a bit of a not a full-on rain jacket but if it's like misty out maybe this would be something you could wear just to kind of keep your skin dry. This is the you know quintessential summer calf-dan. This is how you wear it over a swimsuit right in sheer fabric. Super cute. Love it. And then here's the back of the model version. There is a center back seam I think. What's this up here? Right doesn't it look like a seam? We'll see in the line drawings. Then there's the cover. Here are our line drawings so there is a center back seam which is interesting I think maybe just to help with not taking up a ton of fabric because you can place the front and the back right next to each other on 60 inch wide fabric but that said if the front has a center front seam then the back can be on the fold. So I don't know necessarily if a center back seam is necessary. Either way here it is line drawing. You can see the drawstring goes through and through which is a really nice sort of addition to a calf-dan which can normally just be like a big rectangle of fabric. This one feels like it has some shape to it which is really nice. Okay back to the beginning. So here are our line drawings and here is the back of the envelope so they're going to recommend lightweight drapey fabrics like gauze, silk, shally, novelty shears, georgette. If you see it's actually like laid out intended for border prints so they will show you how to lay that out to get to achieve this kind of look. Lightweight fusible interfacing for the neckline facing and then you need the three-quarter inch elastic. I do love a chunky elastic much more so than like a three-eighths. Three-quarters isn't the largest obviously but it is bigger than the teeny tiny that you might expect from a pattern like this. Two sizes this comes in eight to 16 and then 16 to 26 so we are seeing a couple more sizes on this end. We've got six sizes one two three six sizes in the one envelope and five sizes in the other which is interesting. I would like to maybe see a size six through 16 for our petite girlies or even like a eight to 18 and then an 18 to 28 that would be pretty cool too but we're getting there baby steps right. Fabric-wise yes it is going to take up a lot of fabric simply because it's big pieces of like big patterns sewn together. See it's only for 60 inch fabric for that border print which is usually all you'd find border prints in in these lightweight drapey fabrics anyways and then we're only going to get finished measurements for the length simply because everything is so loose fitting like just use your body measurements. If you don't want it to be as loose fitting you can size down one or two you'd still be fine if you want it to be more oversized you can size up one or two and you'd be fine there too. There should be some finished garment measurements on the pattern tissue though if you want to just double check. Here's a cutie little number I think this is like quintessential buttock right buttock loves like a flouncy sleeve they love like a little detail like this little knotted bodice even the fabrication here is just spot on when I what I think of buttock this is it. B-neck dresses and jumpsuit have twist front bodice and invisible back zipper view A and C have ruffled sleeves view B is sleeveless dress is in two lengths I have a million dresses like this when I first started out sewing I just love them so much now this one with the ruffled sleeve you can see the wrong side of the sleeve it's kind of subtle that you um that this is the underside of the fabric the wrong side here because the print is actually shown on the wrong side you know what I'm saying like sometimes you can have prints that are like on the wrong side of the fabric it's just totally white they did a good job with this so either find a fabric that is the same front to back or where at least it's a subtle difference like this one um V neck with like a slight little like a little bit of shaping here which is really pretty um this knotted detail which is very sweet that's a little bit higher up another empire sort of situation her natural waist is somewhere down here and then this just flows beautifully away from the body universally flattery this this um dress and I think it would also be great if you were maybe a little bit pregnant or a lot of it pregnant for that matter because this is where your belly lives right and you can like you know grayed out here and give yourself a little bit more room especially if you use something with a little bit of stretch in it that would be nice too here is the jumpsuit not so suitable for pregnant people but um very close fitting vibes here on the pant here is a midi length version in a solid color sleeveless really pretty right this would be great for any kind of wedding Easter when that comes back around you could even make it in like a you know black or red or something like that and have something for the holidays this really is like one of those dresses that can go from like date night to something really fancy really easily love her yep and then all of the sort of shaping for the front of the bodice is um like hidden in this little knot but in the back you get these big long darts such a cute little fit and flair I'd have to see the jumpsuit made up I don't know that I'm such a fan of how close fitting it is for me personally I'm sure that looks great on some body types but maybe not for mine maybe just like a comfort thing for me um so they're gonna recommend light weight light to midweight drapey fabrics but I do think that for the sleeveless version especially you could go up to something a little bit more structured and be fine the sleeve on the like the flouncy ruffle sleeve really does lend itself for a drape but the rest of it you could be a little bit heavier weight or a little bit um well heavier weight or more structured for that matter so they're recommending crepe rayon crepe back satin that's kind of what I was referring to for the holidays even if you were to like use the satin side for one part and the crepe side for another that could be really fun and then shally and then you need an invisible zipper bias tape for b which is the sleeveless version so it is an unlined dress and then the sizing we have six to fourteen and then sixteen to twenty four I don't understand this but this is where we are so I'm just trying to like accept it for what it is but like with the last pattern why can't we I don't know why it has to be different I don't get it anyways um so interfacing for the neckline I think and then it really is like a two two and a half yard wonder here the jumpsuit takes a little bit more but um you could squeeze maybe the shorter version especially if it were is be the sleeveless one where's the envelope here she is um yeah b is the sleeveless one so if you made this sleeveless one in a shorter length you could definitely get that done in two yards here is our finished bus line it goes from 34 and a half to 50 kind of loose fitting on the bus though um because what is the your size chart isn't on here so I don't know what the ease is but the waistline again kind of loose fitting right at at the natural waist because the skirt is already flaring and then the hip line measurement for the jumpsuit c is what I would really pay attention to if you're making the jumpsuit because it does look a little bit close fitting so I would just triple check um the ease at the hip line okay cool next we have this little fitted dress um princess seam dress in two lengths has side front plate detail view a has side front drape and view c has full sleeves with pleats dress has back invisible zipper yeah this is feeling a little gosh yeah it's feeling equally vintage matronly like grandma goes on a cruise kind of thing I don't know why I'm getting cruise vibes from like a fitted dress but certainly okay mother of the bride um semi-formal kind of situation I don't know it's not for me I don't know where where I would go or where where I could go not even where I would go but where I could go where I would see someone in this and think yes that's the perfect dress for this occasion it's even giving me like a little bit office vibes I don't know it's kind of all over the place but either way it's got this little pleated cross front which is really cool like I really like that um and then more plates here that lead into this little like cascading ruffle thing there is just nowhere that I'm going where I'm seeing this so maybe that's why I'm having a hard time placing it this is the pleated sleeve they mentioned that makes it even more confusing to me oh here it is without the little like flouncy thing a little bit better I guess a little bit more casual I could see this like on a date I don't know I'm having a hard time with this one the fabrication here too on the model is a little bit much here's the back beautifully fitted right I think we've got fisheye darts here which you guys know I'm obsessed with especially unfitted garments like this one and you've got a little v like pleat thing here they did not trim the threads they've been getting so like slack about this I've seen this more recently than I have ever before in doing these reviews but I mean it does fit her like a glove everything about the arm size seems spectacular like it's well made well fitted I just think that the design in general is just not my cup of tea but there are some people who are going to rock a princess seem fitted dress and maybe you guys can like you know really tout the the the benefits of having this pattern in your stash in the comments if you're like loving this one let me know where do you see yourself wearing it what kind of fabric do you see yourself making it out of help me are we going to church in this maybe it's like a church thing yeah um okay so yardage and the back of the envelope I'm thinking yeah more like sateen and ponte but they are also recommending crepe silk cotton blends jacquard I mean honestly any mid to heavyweight woven even something with a little bit of stretch like a satin stretch twill any of that kind of stuff like that would be good for the office you could really make it up out of any of that it does seem to be at least partially lined if you see they say requires lining see is the sleeved version so I'm curious to know what is lined about C and nothing else not the sleeve certainly um fusible interfacing a zipper hook and eye bias tape so A and B are not lined gosh is a sleeve of C line that is so bizarre and then the sizing on this one is the same as the last one 6 to 14 and then 16 to 24 two and three eighths two and a quarter for the sleeveless version yeah only five eighths of a yard of lining so maybe some kind of like combo neckline arms I facing maybe then your finished bust goes from 34 to 49 and a half the hip only goes up to 51 all right next looks to be this vintage pattern redone buttons on the side is this from like the 80s maybe this casual dress is a smart button down button closing down the left side the dress which falls in free lines from the shoulder what does that mean is deftly shaped who wrote this buy the tie around belt note the extended shoulders in cap effect and there is a pocket in view B this has got to be 80s right although with her gloves and stuff we're sending it back to like 20s or maybe even 40s who's a vintage expert and can tell me what era this is from maybe the pattern cover will tell me but a little like collar detail really sweet this is the sort of quote unquote grown on cap sleeve if you will and then this is kind of a little bit of maybe side boob situation this feels really low and are these actual shoulder darts maybe and then you have an actual like button placket down the side these buttons look huge and it also ties midi length here's one with a little pocketing detail again the hat is giving me like 20s but very casual here's the back which just has maybe a keyhole opening oh 50s I was not even close not even oh look at this what an interesting line drawing right it is really interesting I mean if you look at it this way without it being tied I could see it being made with or without the ties like imagine it being like a loose fitting dress still with the buttons that's kind of really cool very different than what we normally see but still kind of like in a chambray or something still very modern I like it yeah again here it is kind of like a I don't know like a nightgown situation but you wouldn't work to bed with the buttons but still like you get it like a bit of a gown or add the ties tie it up and you get like a fitted I think it's kind of cool all right envelope back crepe silk cotton blends shally rayon I think you can even go into like something a little bit more stable less drapey for instance like I mentioned before the chambray or other light weights structured fabrics thinking like well they did take cotton blend so that's in there but even like a linen like a lightweight linen I mean even lightweight corduroy could be kind of cool I mean you do have that button placket so it has to be like a little bit structured I wouldn't make it out of shali I wouldn't make it out of rayon either I mean you could I don't know I'm just getting more of a structured vibe from it especially if it's a 50s gown they were really only making stuff out of cotton back then right okay so seven three quarter inch buttons those are some huge buttons a hook and I shoulder pads are in this little like grown on cap sleeve thing but only half inch okay they're not crazy very subtle and it's going to create that hourglass figure um or crinoline and batting you can kind of make your own shoulder pad that's fun flexible braid for view b what does that mean flexible braid where have they stuck in this trim I don't see trim on here anywhere unless it's on this is this it where's the line drawing let's go for b yeah it goes here on the arm okay oh maybe also on the collar all right yardage three yards no matter which view you're making here's the crinoline and the batting that you'll need finish garment at the bust line kind of loose fitting at the bust line it's really only fitted at that tie so it goes up to 58 and a half inches with I'm sure like four inches of ease in there somewhere okay oh look at okay yes vest pants and shorts oof I have thoughts okay fully lined button front vest has back tie ends pants and shorts have fleet front side pockets and invisible zipper this is a women's pattern so it is the more like the higher end of their size range I'm obsessed with this concept the execution though I am not feeling good about everything that's happening in this crotch let's look a little bit closer the vest looks amazing we've got these beautiful darts into the welt pocket I love the little pointed detail a little bit loose here in the arm side but not bad especially because I think a vest is a little bit meant to be somewhat loose fitting right like it is meant to be worn over a shirt if you're choosing to not wear it that way that's kind of on you but the best is pretty what I am not loving is is this a single pleat like if you're making a women's pattern right and you're going up in your size range I don't know it just feels like obvious to me that you would need to add pleats or darts from whatever your mrs design would be like if there's one in the mrs two should be in the women's two in the mrs three in the women's like there should just be more and then you wouldn't get this kind of like pulling when you put your hand in the pocket now over here it looks nice and flat she is sort of leaned into this hip though you can tell because this is like a little bit bent but then when we come down to here it's nice and flat but this and this are very concerning to me yeah it just doesn't feel like it was graded with a woman's body and mind like this does not look like what she looks like and I think it's just a lack of shaping for a fuller figure that's the same photo the first one was cropped here's the back again love the best even the back seat looks pretty good but we only have two darts here I would love to have seen a third dart in a second pleat I think that would go a long long way but I gotta say the back looks pretty good certainly makes up for what's going on in the front so yeah well now that I say that there are two darts the back it looks like there's only one so am I losing my mind one two so maybe there's an error in the line drawing and there's actually two darts back here I would also love to have seen the full waistband they didn't show us that either so I would proceed with caution with this one the idea the concept spot on very on trend love everything about it executing it in a women's size there's just a lot of things I would need to double check right yardage yeah it's going to be like suiting fabric so gabardine poplin denim crepe tropical wool it is the the vest is fully lined remember and there is fusible interfacing we've got some buttons and then an invisible zipper for these shorts so it zips on the side I missed that yeah it's got a zip on the side right where is a little oh yeah right here on the side okay so this comes in a 20 to 28 and then a 30 to a 38 this might be the first time that we've seen this size range I think their last collection for like spring or whatever they were combining misses and women's will not combining they had well I guess well I don't remember what they did now that I'm thinking about it but I don't remember seeing a 38 do you guys so we've got the vest is a one-yard wonder right like it you can make it out of very little fabric um the pants three yards up to you and the shorts one and three quarter yards a little bit of interfacing for the pants that's for the waistband bust line measurements go up to a 66 there's definitely no way that there was a 38 in the last collection so this is promising right seeing at least a pattern in this size range waistline measurements for a I think are kind of negligible but for b and c up to 53 at the waistline and then 65 at the hip line so for what it's worth I am a 22 misses at the hip I'm still a 22 here but as we have discussed before the block for a misses is different than the block for a women's and there was some discussion at one point about getting two of the same pattern and making a 22 misses and a 22 women's to see the difference still on my to-do list I think that would be really interesting though to see what the differences are where they lie even if I don't make them up just comparing the tissue the pattern pieces so TBD on that so this is the misses version of that same pattern and I just want to see her in a front view where she's not walking to see if the issues are with the drafting or with the grading certainly a much different back view right like it was um kind of more fitted through the under part of her bum whereas this kind of goes to the highest point the apex of the bum and then falls straight down to the ground in the women's version it kind of was a little bit fitted cupping underneath the bum and that could be actually what is causing the pulling in the front they're trying the pants are like I need this extra fabric to fit over the fullness of her bum so I'm going to have to pull it from the front so maybe that's what's going on with that but they do not give us a view of her not walking so I can't really speak to what's happening in the front but and the vest looks super tight through here too what's the best look like on the front why it looks like that in the back just a little bit close fitting on her maybe she had a broad back or something it doesn't look bad by any means but yeah you can definitely see the differences in the two there so the sizing on this one is 6 to 14 and then 16 to 24 so on this pattern we have a 6 up to what was it 38 incredible like can we give a round of applause to buttering and big four like way to join the party if only we could see this on every pattern one day one day so this would be a good example of one where I could get the this pattern and get the size get this one the largest size of the misses in the smallest size of the women's and compare them all right here's another example right yeah these two are the exact same so we'll look at the women's version of the pattern sleeveless button front dress and jumpsuit have pockets with flaps and sash belt two links jumpsuit is cropped okay this looks great through here maybe a little long through the rise of I'm being super picky but what's interesting about this jumpsuit is we have a button placket that goes into a waist seam of some kind I think and then converts into an invisible zipper very interesting normally you would just have your buttons go through and through or your zipper go all the way up this is like a little combo one other little thing I want to point out is the the placket is not fully lined up right here like the edge of this should be over here now that could be because she was moving around or because it's technically too small through here and it's pulling this apart a little bit I always always no matter where the pattern says the button should go I put one button right here at the apex at the fullest part just to keep that in place and then I line up the rest of the buttons based off of this kind of a longer shoulder right it's going off like her over the kind of joint of her shoulder oh here's the dress version very lovely that one has the button placket going all the way down this is sleeveless so just shorter it's the dress version but shorter we do have a yoke and a pleat here yeah this is a really nice jumpsuit it fits lovely through the back I'm here for it these are the line drawings so I'll have to look at the pattern back but I think that there's elastic in here too and that's how you're able to kind of well then why would you need the invisible zipper hmm I don't know how this works maybe it's like a pant like a fly front but no that's not it I don't know my brain is not accepting that as a possibility um okay crepe silk shally rayon yeah lightweight drapey fabrics for sure you could do less drapey fabrics but this is just going to it's a very wide leg so it will just stand away from the body even more single fold bias tape for the arm side there is elastic in the waist buttons buttons buttons and an invisible zipper so this is the 18 to 24 and then 26 to 32 so not quite as large of a size range as the last one right that one went up to 38 didn't it and I think that those were the there was a w2 and w3 sizes whatever these little codes mean so not the same but two and three quarter yards for the dress the shorter dress this is the longer dress and this is the jumpsuit a little bit of interfacing it's loose at the bust line loose at the waistline and loose at the hip line you have the elastic pulling you in here so in theory these are the finished well no these are definitely the finished garment measurements just know that there's probably a lot of ease in all of them all right and then here is the mrs version we'll just look at the photos here everything else should be the same the pockets on this one are way too high for her she just is very tall through here very long through here so these look misplaced versus the women's version I didn't notice anything what the pocket but you can also see that this button is at the fullest part of her apex so that's another indicator that she's just longer through here than the last woman all right and they made her the little dress version out of some kind of silky fabric there is the jumpsuit there is the short dress here is the back of the maxi cute next we have a few tops this is a mrs top I'm surprised to see two twist fronts I kind of thought we had this ship at sail but maybe she's back short sleeve top has twist front and invisible back zipper if you'd be as color blocked and you see has ruffle sleeves and open slit neck the color blocking is cool like I said the color blocking trend right now is to do and someone explained this in one of the comments too instead of it being like in the past we've done colors opposite each other on the color wheel like pink and green now they're doing colors next to each other on the color wheel like green and purple red and purple so that's that's the where the color blocking trend has gone but the design of this is very simple we have a grown on dolman sleeve right the only thing providing any shaping here is the twist front which it makes it a very comfortable top I don't know that you could wear it tucked in it's more of a untucked situation but I can see it being extended into a dress and be really cute here's the little ruffle sleeve that they added to add a little bit of detail also with the slit v that they mentioned but yeah I mean it's basic with a twist literally um I'm not really wearing you know wide leg pants or even straight leg pants with a long hip length top over it that's I I'm just past that phase of my life I'm not going into an office I don't need to be businessy in any stretch of the imagination um so this would be more of a denim like a denim situation which wide leg denim okay flare denim great even jeans whatever fine I could wear that wear this top over that but this styling is not for me anymore but it is very butteric right this is the butteric woman so something to be said for that so there's the back with the beautiful invisible zipper pattern cover and you can see from the line drawing in the back how simple it is all right so pattern envelope back silk shally crepe machine double georgia and cotton blends I agree fully lightweight fusible now this has a 22 inch invisible zipper you don't need a 22 inch invisible zipper you need it to go from the neckline to just pass the waistline that's not 22 inches maybe 16 something like that I'd measure yourself before you spend the money on an invisible zipper that is this long 8 to 16 18 to 26 yet another varying size here this is probably the fourth different size combo we've seen makes no sense um two yards for a b is the color blocked version so two and three quarters on that one a total when you add it all up and then C which is the this version I think no C has the sleeve the little sleeve ruffle for whatever reason is less than the one without that that doesn't make any sense but okay whatever you say and then no finished garment measurements on this one again well I don't know that waist is pretty fitted so I'd figure that out here is a kind of classic button down top I feel like every collection is going to have some version of this this one happens to be loose getting the vibe of like oversized casual I think all of this is one piece so it's technically a dolman but it also has lots of darting so it's dolman but fitted which is just kind of a little best of both worlds maybe button front a full princess seam it goes all from here all the way down yeah duh that's what this is over here um has dolman sleeves with long three quarter and short sleeve lengths optional pocket on front now again the fabrication on this is not not how I would do it this is a little bit too too mature for me but I think it could be really really cool and youthful in like a you could look a gauze or like a lightweight linen or you know I think beach and breezy and like chic and cool this is giving me like I'm sad and have had the same job for 45 years working as an administrative assistant kind of thing you know what I mean whereas I think of it like Santro pay going out to dinner matching wide leg linen pants you know like a whole different situation than where this woman is so keep that in mind here's the short version the short sleeve version I mean this is different than the other one but not by that much they still put her in khakis for crying out loud so yeah I don't know and then here's the long sleeve version this lady is like on dynasty so yeah not how I would have styled it or not the fabric I would have chosen in any way on any of them and I love that they made three whole versions of this top like I wish we could see more of that but I wouldn't have made them in any of the fabrics that they chose oh it's a Palmer plush that's why there's three versions so Palmer plush is like a you know a good designer that they outsource to so obviously they are going to work a little bit differently than their in-house designer does different budgets different staff all of that I guess that also kind of explains the fabrication but but at the same time like Palmer plush now is run by a woman and her daughter and her daughter is close to my age so I don't know I'm kind of like where is the representation of that of the for one for the mother and then another version for like the daughter and and like the young mom you know all right so here are our line drawings lovely yeah I'd be inclined to buy this pattern but like I said I'd be making it up totally differently they are recommending cotton ray on crepe to sheen georgette and tinsel like I said I'd be adding lightweight linen gauze maybe even like some version of a seersucker or embroidered cotton or I don't know maybe even an eyelet like I would go way young in terms of fabrication buttons are the only notions and then we have the 8 to 16 and 16 to 26 size range two and a half yards two and three eighths yeah at most two and three eighths depending on which sleeve you're choosing a lot of interfacing I'm guessing for the collar and button placket and then bust line measurement goes up to 54 but it's you know very loose fitting so there's lots of ease there okay look at this cutie little number this feels young and youthful button front top has neck collar and sleeve variations back has yoke with pleats so it's a similar concept right it's a button down top but this one has a very wide collar that almost acts as a little cap sleeve with a ruffle on it gingham is the most perfect print for something like this again something a little funny going on here with the buttons even though this is the same model with like the longer high point shoulder to bust point you can tell that too because look at where the dart ends her bust point is somewhere in here so just a fit model that they were not expecting right so yeah so some pulling through here the darts not the right place but that's I think more specific to this model than the pattern but cute fitted has a little shirt tail hem and then the fun collar here is a different collar and a sleeve with elastic in it so another completely different application for whatever reason they even drew in the bust starts going way too high I don't know what the deal with that is but even the illustration like her bust points like right here if I could imagine drawing having like actual three dimensions so I'm not sure what that's about here is a third no wait this has got to be the same color as the first one without the ruffle and a third sleeve yeah and then there she is with her two short wide leg or flare jeans and stilettos that's an odd choice but all right well from here up it looks great here's the back kind of surprised to not see any fish eye darts there it's so fitted on her right wouldn't you think that there would be fish eye darts in the back there are not so there's just the yolk and then the pleats so it must just be highly shaped through the side seams but it's a cute top I really like it all right cotton blends broad cloth shali gingham lightweight linen wall yep agree with all of that buttons bias tape for the arm side and elastic for the sleeve hem 8 to 16 16 to 26 again and then anywhere from two to two and a quarter yards and then some interfacing quite a lot of interfacing again for the collar which is massive as well as the button placket bust line measurement goes up to 56 inches it is pretty fitted throughout so I'd be checking bust waist and hip for me because I am so curvy through here and this seems pretty straight as does the model um yeah I might even be adding fish eye darts making my hip length adding fish eye darts to get the shaping through the waist and then having it be a little bit looser fitted through the bust I'd also double check the arm side it does seem a little now that I'm looking at it a little bit high but they don't show us any pictures with her hand on her hip right no no yeah okay here is the same pattern in women's and they made the version with the elastic in the sleeve super cute but look how loose this is it's like two totally different tops so this one is the 20 to 28 and then 30 to 38 so the full full size range but I mean come on now like what's with all this ease that's really annoying and kind of disheartening um did they change the darting at all hard to tell it looks maybe just a little bit longer but like give me a break like look how the drawing has it fitted like it was on the mrs and then on her it's like totally flared out like what is up with that and why is it so long oh man it's hard for me to like fully rip them for this because the effort is there the opportunity is there for more women to sew their own clothes but it's frustrating at the same time because I know if I am a size 38 for example I go to make this top I'm envisioning it a little bit more like a or b or even the mrs version I've looked through all those photos and this is what it comes out like I'm like wait a minute like where'd my body go like are we just trying to cover everything up here you know for the person that doesn't know how to shorten this how to take in the side seams all that kind of stuff that's why it's a little bit like come on like I don't know beggars can't be choosers I don't know this line drawing does not look like this at all not even close if that is what her hip measurement that's the size of her that her hip measurement told them to make or maybe they made it and it's too big for her I don't know I don't know it's just too hard to to speculate all the various reasons why that ended up that way but annoying okay cotton we already went through all this all right we're going to look at that again let's move on from her now we've got this little button front lots of button front tops button front top has collar tears and sleeve variations this kind of gauzy fabric is what I pictured that Palmer flesh pattern being made from but I mean fits her shoulder nicely little baby sleeve cap which is okay because the sleeve extends beyond like the the joint in her shoulder this looks like a traditional collar with a collar stand and everything this one is again pulling at the bust apex either that or the buttons are in the right place one of the two because this one seems to be very loose fitting it doesn't even have a dart so it wouldn't be her long whatever upper bust area um and then you've got the tears which is really cute and interesting that this is longer than this is short and then this is long again just visually interesting to look at this one has the high low hem so just be careful because you can see the wrong side of your fabric also only two tears on this one also sleeveless here's like a drapey version that is the same long length but only two tears and a long sleeve with a with I guess they just rolled up the sleeves I'm imagining it has a cup on the bottom they love a khaki um now this is a problem right maybe it's a little bit too small um and it does feel like this is way longer than the other side is so I don't know if I would be checking the sleeve or not the arm side especially certainly on the sleeveless version if I'm assuming it's the same bodice for all of them yeah it's like falling off over here I didn't notice that the first time this fits really well this not so much like there's supposed to be a shoulder in here and there's not that's like her bicep so yeah probably too long on the shoulders all together um but yeah those are the versions I can also see this easily being extended into a dress if you took this version and added a third tier to make it whatever length you wanted super easy just remember to extend the button placket cool all right cotton blends georgette shall we wall lightweight linen yeah perfect those like lightweight but a little bit of structured wovens well have we seen a single knit pattern this time yet I don't think so buttons and then bias tape for the arm side 6 to 14 16 to 26 is the size range on this one um little less than two yards up to a little more than two and a half depending on the sleeve and the ruffles and the length and all that finished bust line goes up to 53 all right now we've got a little tween number a bunch of whoa what is wrong with that girl's face oh my gosh I'm trying to click on it it won't even let me see no that's like a woman's face on a child's body that is so weird she looks okay maybe in the middle but this girl something something happened to her something happened to her in the illustration world anyway so some toddler outfits oh besties that's so cute little girl and then like a baby outfit which I don't review anything non-women's because I don't make clothes for teens and tweens and little girls so but they are all really cute where's the boys patterns though I guess some of these are unisex but anyways that is butteric summer 2022 what do we think um definitely some contenders in here definitely classic butteric um yeah I'm kind of like surprised and then also not surprised all at the same time but I'd love to know what you guys think let me know in the comment section below I have
