About This Piece
Butterick 6408 is a quintessential 1980s designer pattern by Kathryn Conover, capturing all the drama of the decade in two stunning views. View A features a romantic off-the-shoulder silhouette with gathered puff sleeves worn as a bardot-style dress in a floral print, while View B is a structured sweetheart-neckline gown with voluminous elbow-length puff sleeves — perfect for a prom or wedding. The close-fitting, princess-seamed bodice is fully lined, and the slightly flared, pleated skirt falls below mid-calf for elegant length. Designed for Misses sizes 6, 8, and 10, this pattern is a treasure for vintage sewing enthusiasts and 80s fashion lovers alike. Pattern pieces and instructions appear present and complete.
