We’re embracing the warmer weather with two stylish dresses which are perfect for the season. The first, Butterick 6551, is a mandarin collar dress with an elegant lean line. Its minimal seam lines make it a winner for showing off your biggest and boldest prints! Alison Smith MBE shows you how to perfect the mandarin collar on page 53 and see reader Leanne’s gorgeous green version on page 20.

Our second pattern, Threadcount 2114, is a gorgeous gathered dress with an elasticated neckline and three great sleeve options. With a ruffle and belt as additional style options to incorporate, as well as three dress lengths to choose from, this pattern can be used to create so many different looks – I am excited to see all the beautiful versions our readers make! Plus, enjoy expert masterclasses, step-by-step hacks and tips so you can really make these gorgeous garments your own!
