Who’s Ready For A Great Little Sew-Along?
In this, out next sew-along vote, I have two wonderful dress sewing patterns for your perusal.
Both dresses are elegant in style and can be worn at those up and coming summer events, weddings, garden parties and other social occasions.
A time when we, as fashion sewers truly shine!
The warmer weather allows our freedom of creative expression, to model our own unique flair with designs I guarantee your friends and family won’t be wearing.
So take a look at your dress sewing pattern choices below, and I urge you to vote in the poll found at the bottom of this post.
The choice wll be a difficult one! Good luck.
The Sewing Patterns
The Butterick B5640 Dress sewing pattern and the New Look 6094 Dress sewing pattern.
Both sewing patterns offer a good choice of style variation so should suit most body shapes.
Our Sewing Pattern Descriptions

Anybody wishing to vote, simply tell me your choice in the comments box below.
At the conclusion of this sew-along vote, all votes, both poll and comments will be added together and the winner announced.
I look forward to seeing which gorgeous dress sewing pattern wins. I’ll announce the winner next week and produce a checklist for the winning pattern.
