Butterick 6182 sandwashed silk boxy top (worn with skirt from same pattern)Hi Friends,
This here is my second version of Butterick 6182. My first version can be seen here. I have worn the first version quite a bit and I had this smallish length of sandwashed silk in my stash (a rare eBay find!) and I thought it would be nice to make a dressier version to wear out. Incidentally, the skirt I am wearing with the top comes from the same pattern. I don’t love the skirt for some reason but whatevs, I put it on for these photos! (On sewing list: make new denim skirt that I love).
Butterick 6182 sandwashed silk boxy top (worn with skirt from same pattern)Not much else to say about this top – I did a review with the first version. The only alterations I made were to add 0.5 inch to either end of the sleeve bands to give myself 1 inch extra around the arms and to drop the armhole opening by 0.5 inch. I french seamed the centre front/ back seams and shoulder seams and serged the side seams/ armhole bands. Here are some inside pictures:

I wore this outfit last Friday night to a retirement function for my husbands colleague.

Lovely new top. Love how you styled it for the retirement function. And I also love both of those necklaces! I’m on a mission to eventually (soon, I hope) sew a new denim skirt too.
I love that top and it’s perfect with the culottes! I’ve been eyeing that pattern, but not sure about the skirt. Maybe I’ll try the top, after seeing how cute it is on you. : )
Thanks Lizzie. The culottes are great but I am going to try a simplicity pattern for culottes next time round. I do love these but be warned they are fulll and use a fair bit of fabric.

Thanks Debbie. Yep the mission to find the perfect denim skirt is on!
What a lovely shade of pink! I especially like the way you dressed it up AND can wear it more casual. Great top!
Thanks Laurie
That’s a lovely top on you. I particularly like it styled with the culottes.
Thanks Jen
It looks so good with those culottes!
Thanks Masha. Culotte pair number 3 soon to come! 🙂
Love that pink and it looks perfect with the culottes. That’s spot on “dressy casual.”
Thank you Peggy S.

I love that colour on you. That top is nice dressed up or casual. Nice work!

I’ve made two pairs of the Vogue 9091 culottes so far and really like them. I rarely duplicate patterns, so that’s says something! 😄
Lovely, that silk is gorgeous and the colour looks great
Thanks Mags.
Beautiful top Manju. I love it with the culottes.
Thanks Jean Margaret.
Agree: My fav combo is the casually classic last one. Great sewing *and* styling! 😀
Thanks Del!
