How adorable is this dress?
I love the bodice especially. The neckline and sleeves- they remind me of something Penelope would wear. :)
Maybe after the swing dress sew along? I'm a little nervous about that. I've never made a dress that fit me properly. Then again, I've never made the extra effort to alter a pattern or make a muslin mock-up either. This time I will, though. :) I'm going to Joann's tomorrow to shop for fabric for the dress. (I love Hobby Lobby, but their apparel fabrics are sadly lacking.)
Until next time,


Goodness, that dress is adorable! I agree 100%, it is definitely something Penelope would wear. :)
ReplyDeleteOk you HAVE to make that dress!!
ReplyDeleteI love the neckline!
Have fun at Joanns! My problem is trying not to spend too much in that store =)
That dress is SO adorable! I love it. :) Have fun at Joann's, Kristin! I'll be going to ours tomorrow too. They're having a huge sale on fabric! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on cheap patterns; but somehow I can spend a little more on the vintage ones or vintage repros. LOL -- I think this dress would be ravishing in an avocado green; I love anything green!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I LOVe the movie "Penelope" I watched it with my sister and mom a few months ago, and laughed through the entire thing! The message was extremely uplifting.
