Stuck on a pattern - 4th version of Butterick 6492

Are you totally bored with Butterick 6492 ... because I can't have enough of them. The patern is simply addictive - both to sew and to wear.
So I decide to make a 4th version in windowpane print. The pockets are the best feature. So cleaver and so comfy.
I deiced to try a new twist in the back. I really wanted a bit more interest and tie with the corners in the front but the large striped version seemed like a bit to much fabric and I also didn't want any seam match disaster so this is what I did:
The final top is nice but somehow not as great as I have hopped. The fabric has enough stretch to be comfortable and stable enough not to grow but I feel the drape is not ideal...
Also feel a bit dull to me. I first intended to use a 2nd B&W print but my mom talked me out of it...

 Bought some fabrics over the weekend so now it is Sewing 14 - Shopping 10.

I also finished my 2 dresses for but I have to keep them secret for now. Watch ElizabethMadeThis blog at the end of the month for the big dress parade  and sew 2 dresses to join the #dayandnightdresschallage:

  1. I like it. You have some really bold ones so having something more 'plain' is ok, but I don't think it is plain, I think it's just in comparison to the other ones.

    1. You are probably right! The previous ones set the bar quite high! Thank you!

  3. I have made this pattern once. Do you leave the edges of the pockets raw then coverstitch them on? that was the only thing I didn't like about the pattern. Your versions all look great!

    1. I don't like anything left raw! I turn the edges of the pockets under before sewing them to the insert panels.
