1950s dress

This is a dress I made last fall. I really liked how it turned out but the weather got cold so fast that I wasn't able to wear it. Anyway, here it is!

The fabric is cotton. Gotta love cotton...
I remember this dress was a cinch to put together. The bodice and sleeves are all one piece so I didn't have to set sleeves! Yeah!!!
The pattern was an original pattern from the 1950s... sadly I can't find the envelope to take a picture...

Another 1950s dress...

I know I must sound like a broken record... but, did you notice in my "About me" it says I love all things vintage?? :-)

Anyway, this dress did NOT come from an original circa 1950 pattern. I sort of cheated. Although, I'm pretty sure the pattern is out of print so that makes it vintage, right?

I really wanted a chocolate brown/white polka dot printed fabric but I had to settle for this. Maybe I'll find the brown another time and make something else.

The gloves were my great grandmothers'. :-)
