Bridesmaid Dress #3: Kirstin

Bridesmaid Dress #3: Kirstin

Another bridesmaid dress is done!

This one is for Kirstin, my fiancés little sister (well, not that little--21).  We modeled the bodice of it after this J.Crew dress:

And of course gave it the same pleated skirt as the other two.  I used this vintage reprint Butterick pattern, B4792.  It's different construction than the J.Crew dress, but the same shape and look from afar.

Kirstin is 5'10," though, so I had to add some length to the bodice.  Here's a look at how I lengthened it (this is the back piece):

Here's how it came out!

You can also see Shauna's bridesmaid dress and Robin's bridesmaid dress.  All five bridesmaids will be wearing the same pale grey cotton blend, and purple shoes and cardis.

(If you made your bridesmaids' dresses, or did any other DIYs for your wedding, I'd love for you to share them in the Adventures in Dressmaking DIY Weddings Flickr group!!)
