I had some spare time over the past two days, so I decided to make a dress from a vintage pattern I have, Simplicity 3769. I used some lovely hawaiian - palm tree print poplin and made the sash of a plain drill. I wanted a light, simple summer dress, and also to see if the pattern worked to use for a more expensive project later in the year. This is how it turned out!
The pattern - Mine was a size 14, Bust 34.
I'm really pleased with it! :) And check out my funky retro hairstyle. Pretty nifty for something i did in ten minutes! ;D

Found your blog on sew retro. This dress you made is so cute!! I can't wait until I am able to sew this well. I plan on adding you to my daily blog reader!
Very cute! I also found you on sew retro. Thanks for sharing.
Saw you on Sew Retro. The dress turned out awesome - I can't believe it's your first project. The bow just seals the deal!
