I wanted a new summer dress, something soft, comfortable and maybe a little elegant. Lately most of the dresses I have made have been out of cotton knits with little sewing required...this time I wanted a real dress, with fitted darts and even a zipper. I pulled out this vintage Vogue pattern...
...then I shopped my stash of fabric and I found this lovely piece of rayon, very soft with a fluid hand ~ perfect.
I had the pattern, the fabric, and even this necklace.
Time to get to work...
Voila!
Now I have my new dress, and I love it. It is just what I wanted.
I just might change the pattern a bit so it has a scoop neck, maybe add short sleeves, and make another one...you just can't have too many dresses.
Thank you for visiting, I hope you have a lovely day.
Oh your dress is lovely. I love a dresses like that and they are so hard to find. You did a great job and even have the neckless to go with it. Love it when things work out right. You are a wonderful seamstress. Now go someplace special so you can show of your lovely dress.
