A friends Mum gave me a pile of her old patterns mostly from the 70's. All totally wearable and summery and mostly my size. Made from Style 4859 from 1975. It was a cinch to make a really quick. I think I will have to make at least one more for the summer.
It is not the most flattering for a curvaceous bosom, but then the 70's were never about ample cleavage, so I'm okay with the way it looks. Next time I make it, I will add a couple of inches to the hem as I don't like showing my knees much.
Such pretty fabric! It makes a very pretty dress :)

Thats such a cute summery dress! I think it wouldn't look very good if you DID have an ample bosom - probably a bit too showy if there's too much cleavage happening.
ReplyDeleteJust love that fabric too. Do you think you'll make the long version?
I am soooo going to make a long dress.
ReplyDeleteI never saw this dress. It is so cute and you have the perfect figure for halters. Wish I could get away with it! Thanks for coming to the link party. Hope you come back and post something else next week!
