After months of anticipation, it's finally time to unveil the latest addition to the Lisette for Butterick collection—pattern B6681. As soon as I heard about this pattern, I was practically buzzing with excitement. I couldn't wait for it to hit the shelves so I could share it with all of you! What I love most about this design is how perfect it is for summer—it’s fresh, versatile, and just plain fun.
This dress is truly unique because it looks like two separate pieces, making it super versatile for different occasions. I’m thrilled that this pattern offers both short-sleeve and sleeveless options. The sleeveless version works beautifully for casual settings, while the short-sleeve option adds a touch of professionalism, making it ideal for workwear. It’s always nice to have those choices!
The top part of the dress functions as an overlay, paired with a more form-fitting dress beneath. One of my favorite details is the cropped hem of the top—it features a playful little notch and a wide hem. Behind the scenes, there’s even a hidden back zipper that’s cleverly concealed by the buttons running up the back of the overlay. If you look closely at the shoulder area, you’ll notice a cute triangular yoke that gives the top its distinctive square neckline.
Now let’s talk about the skirt. It’s designed with gentle pleats to create a soft, flowing silhouette. If you're into a more gathered look, you can easily swap out the pleats for gathers instead. The skirt also has a wide hem that mirrors the top, adding symmetry and balance to the overall design. And, of course, no modern dress is complete without functional pockets!
When it comes to fabric selection, the possibilities are endless! For a more casual vibe, consider using poplin, linen, or sateen. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to elevate the look, lace (especially as an overlay), brocade, or eyelet fabrics would be absolutely stunning. Take a look at these inspiring images for ideas:
I’m particularly excited about the idea of sewing this dress to resemble separates. Think about pairing florals with stripes, or even mixing textures like florals with lace or a sheer overlay over stripes. Color blocking is another fantastic approach—you could experiment with bold prints and stripes or even combine different fabrics through patchwork. Look at this sherbet-inspired color block in the bottom row—it’s such a creative way to use smaller fabric scraps!
