Party Dress: So it Begins

B5761 dress
Butterick 5761 view B (knee length dress)

I have dipped my toe in to the party dress project. Today I cut out the B5761 pattern pieces in some cheap, thrifted quilting cottons.One is the garish yellow I used for my first fitting shell, and the other is a flawed brown number. An explosion of hideous - I bet you can't wait for the fitting photos.
Within the next few days I'd like to start stitching the seams. These instructions have you do a test fit with wrong sides together so that's handy, because that's all this "muslin" is for anyway.
