Blue dress pictures! Butterick 5455

This is my pattern:

Here's my discussion of the pattern, here. Mainly my only issue is that my hips and butt are not a 6. Operator error.

This one is funny because the dog literally did not notice the duck. My yellow lab growing up would have been in the water swimming after it in seconds.

Side view.
Front.

See, there are pockets, they just aren't super obvious.

I would definitely make this again, probably in black. It's cute dress and it fits well.

Extra bonus:

Yesterday, I decided we are going to have a fondue dinner sometime soon, so we needed to go to goodwill to find a set. Andrew was skeptical that we could just waltz in and find one. However, waltz in we did, and there were THREE to choose from.

For some reason, the line was insanely long and as we were standing there what do I spy? The fraternal twin (not an identical twin, but very twin-like!) ottoman to the one in the living room!

This is the new one:
Rectangular, slightly taller.

Here is the original:
Square, with little tabs on the side (that have dog tooth marks)

It was a sign! According to the tag, it had just been put out that same day! Andrew was mocking me and said I was wasting my money, but who is sitting on it today playing video games? Mmm hmmm.

But let's not make Andrew out to be bad. He is sweet; I love him, my mom loves him, the weenie dog loves him (the most, sadly. My dog prefers him over me) He happily listens to my sewing and blog updates and takes my pictures on increasingly conspicuous city-wide photoshoots. LOL. And he is a ginger. :)

I still have three projects to take pictures of, so stay tuned!
