Notwithstanding the fact I have about one billion sundresses, I thought I should make another. This is a combo of the vintage Butterick 8149, the skirt from New Look 6699, and a band made up on the spot...
It's not actually a halter, I just haven't finished attaching the straps to the back. I also thought I should make a little bolero to pop over the top if it is even sunnier. This is a frankenpattern of Simplicity 3748 and McCalls 5006. I shall call her Igor:

I also decided to make a hat (why the hell not!) It is the baddana fabric on one side, and some leftover hawaiian print barkcloth on the other:
HAT: excellent
ReplyDeletePHOTO OF YOU IN HAT, BLURRED FACE: spooky
What a productive day you had!
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast band on the frock, and the hat is great.
And lookit your cheeky eyes peeking over the blurred face there! I see you!!
I love this outfit! I have a string of round red 50s beads that would look great with this dress.
