I'd probably go with the Butterick if it's for work, but if you have date night after work, make the McCall and wear a sweater over it while at work and transition it into the evening. I love both dresses.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846280039463458710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-39750624861007941422010-07-13T08:00:02.023-04:002010-07-13T08:00:02.023-04:00Oooooh, it's a good thing you snapped up all o...Oooooh, it's a good thing you snapped up all of that silk jersey or I'd be heading out to Rockville! (I wonder if they have it at the 7 Corners store?) As for the McCalls 6069 pattern, I've made it . . . and hated the back. I don't like those low drapey backs that are held in place with a tie at the shoulder line . . . it was awkward to wear, perhaps a little low for some offices. I wore the dress once and haven't worn it since. You could probably easily alter the back so that it ran straight across and didn't drape . . . if you want to mess with the pattern that much. I also found it to be rather slim fitting.AuntieAllynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192122099879165907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-90957100379029309472010-07-13T02:12:30.004-04:002010-07-13T02:12:30.004-04:00I am gasping at that lovely silk jersey.

I suspect the McCalls pattern is a bit low in the back for the office without alterations, but the dress in that jersey will be far too nice for office wear anyway, save it for dates and weekends!AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-60881042812688582712010-07-12T20:01:43.309-04:002010-07-12T20:01:43.309-04:00That silk jersey is to die for!!!
