I didn't get a blogg'n chance to post my frock yesterday. It was a busy day with kids activities and I planned a Spanish feast for the family for valentine's Day, followed by a lush desert.
Here it is made from simplicity 6219 from 1965. I love the fabric, not sure a bout the dress.

I made this little diddy to wear to a friend's wedding. I was breast feeding at the time, so the neckline was split a bit deeper and pinned together with a brooch. I have since sewn it back up and made the neckline less sweetheart and more v. The whole dress actually changed shape quite a bit as I took the darts right in to make it a shape more flattering. I have since made this same dress for a gal friend, her dress was more successful, I put it down to fabric choice. My dress is a really light cotton and my friend's dress was a vintage lace lined with satin. Her dress showed off that empire line better.
