Hey guys, welcome to the highly-anticipated B6413 Sewalong! (I mean, anticipated by me, mostly.) It’s no secret that I am a bit of a Gertie fan. I own many of her patterns, and her recent Ultimate Dress Book. She takes inspiration from some truly gorgeous 50s designs and spares me from having to draft lookalikes of my own, what more is there to love? B6413 is one such pattern inspired by a Dorothy Jenkin’s dress designed for Marilyn Monroe for the film Niagara. One day, I’d like to at least attempt a pencil skirt style but with a frontal zip and actual ties for the bust, but that’s for another time when my weight gets more stable. So what better way to celebrate a little bit of body positivity than sewing a dress with friends that doesn’t require a form-fitting silhouette around the derriere? That’s just what we’re gonna do!…
