I made this dress loosely based on Simplicity 1157. I changed it quite a bit and added things like the bow and sash. The fabric I used was a sheet from the op-shop which cost $1, the zip I already had and the straps are made of bias binding that I found in my Mum's sewing stash hence the $1 dress.
The bow on the front of the bodice.
The purple roses make me think of Spring garden parties. Perfect for the lovely spring weather we've been having lately, now if only I had a garden party to attend.
Cute dress =)

ReplyDeleteYeah I did. Thanks. I'm so happy that you thought it was vintage.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful! I love the pattern on the fabric and the bow is just darling. It also looks gorgeous with those purple tights you paired it with!
