I passed over Butterick’s vintage reprint 6318 dozens of times because I already have similar patterns and I really thought I was just being sucked into the adorable pattern illustrations:
I mean, that’s just SO CUTE. But I really didn’t need it.
Just kidding, I totally did! This is another super simple pattern thanks to the kimono sleeves. Mine is relaxed fit since I was unfamiliar with Butterick sizing. There’s a lot of extra room in the back especially that I’d take out next time:
I skipped the wrap ties in favor of a simple removable tie belt using the wrong side of the denim, same as I used on the sleeve cuffs.

This is my third (and probably NOT final!) version of Simplicity 4475, a simple raglan-sleeved dress from the early 60s. I love this pattern so much! This time I made it in a lightweight, flowy, wool/viscose blend with a modern midi length.
Since I made this back in August, I’ve worn it to parties, evenings out, work… it’s very versatile due to its solid navy color and can easily be dressed up or down. More details on my blog here! (And see my other versions of this pattern here and here.)
