A friend of mine passed down some really fun vintage patterns, and this was one of them. We are basically the same size, so everything she gave me is near perfect for me!
Size: 12- I did tinker with the bust and waist, since I am pretty skinny and took it in about an inch and these patterns only come in one size
Time to make: 4 Days on and off sewing
Fabric: Cotton blue and white plaid from Joann's. Can you tell why it's my Dorothy dress? I wish I had sparkly red shoes to go with it ;)
Issues: The only issue with this pattern I've noticed so far is I can't raise my arms SUPER high. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't want to play football in this dress.
Ahem... this is my second dress and second piece of clothing ever made. It has... character. But nothing is wrong with character right?
I chose the view on the left, view #2.
I think I am now the master of collars... since I've done 3 so far (future blog post on the 3rd collared item in the future!). Let's just say I like things with collars. It gives it a finished, classy feel.
Another thing I love about this dress are the lengths of the skirt and sleeves. They are just classic lengths, and look good on virtually anyone!
And there's ALWAYS an outtake. Simply divine.
