I did wear my new dress Sunday morning. I am pleased with the over all silhouette of the dress. It looks rather 1940's to me.
My sister
helped pick out the fabric. I was going for a simple print so I could
experiment with the pin tucks and puffed sleeves without it being
overkill. The zipper went in all right, however I still need to improve
in that aspect of my sewing skills.

I drafted the skirt pattern and used the sleeves from a 1970's vintage pattern I got at a thrift store for 99 cents. The bodice is from Simplicity 2444 with a few minor changes made in the fitting. The best thing about this dress is that it has got side pockets! Now there is a place to stick my things when I'm out and about and don't wish to carry a purse -- or in my case, when my purse is just too annoying to get in and out of all the time even if I am carrying it.
Till next time,
Molly
