Butterick See & Sew Sewing Pattern 3052: Misses' Top and Dress
This is a very easy to sew semi-formal dress pattern that has a vintage bridal / bridesmaid or special-occasion feel due to the lace and flower belt. Fabric suggestions include lightweight drapey fabrics like crepe de chine, tissue faille, or lightweight crepe, with lace overlays.

Pattern Details:
• This pattern is uncut. Envelope has some tape on edges.
• Size 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
• 1988

Style:
• Bodice: Fitted, with princess-style shaping under the lace overlay. The lace covers the entire bodice and sleeves, giving a delicate, romantic look.
• Sleeves: Long, puffed at the shoulder with slight volume, narrowing down toward the wrist for a feminine silhouette.
• Neckline: High, round jewel neckline—classic and modest.
• Waist: Defined with a wide sash belt, featuring a large fabric flower for embellishment, very much in line with late ’80s fashion accents.
• Skirt: Straight and simple, falling just below the knee, which balances the ornate lace of the bodice.
