Why Butterick, why?
As I type these words to you, I just don’t know what made you do this.
For some time, I figured Butterick would release a holiday collection preceding Mccalls and Vogue.
But nothing could have prepared me for this.
I've always thought that the “Butterick girl” is the mainstream maven of the pattern industry.
Not hipster, trendy but still sophisticate everyday fashion that you can find at most department stores.
I feel like this collection is very retro, which is not necessarily a bad thing but when you are in your thirties like I am, there is a fine line between a gentle nod towards fashion’s past and straight up old fashion dressing. Some of these patterns look way too OLD to be new.
B5846 looks like summer in the late 50's and I like it but its winter and holiday time, doesn't make any sense. I think B5850 is beautiful, view B in a shuntung would be classy.
B5851, the styling for this dress is killing me. Shaking my head in shame!
B5847 just says old fashion, straight up, I will NEVER wear a dress like that, no shaping, too long, its horrible.
B5849 I like the collar of this one, it may make it into my collection because I can wear this to work, in the summer, maybe....
Something about this dress remains me of the early 80s, the slit I don't like, but the play with textures is promising, that slit would have to be moved to the back, regardless, this is a pass for me.
Do not put bows on your bust line like this, its not flattering on most people, period!
This is very unfortunate, quite devastating.

The worst wardrobe I've seen in a while, what is this?
View B & D may have potential
The Plus size patterns are actually pretty good, in fact I would say, they should have just done a maternity, plus size and kids collection and call it a day.
This dress is so adorable, this should be on the cover.
In conclusion if this collection was my saving grace I would be naked for the holidays.
They need to get it together.
