I made this little number in black with pink dots this weekend. Moggy and I go to the Fifties Fair each year, held in Sydney, so I am going to make up a few dresses from my vintage patterns and they shall fight it out amongst themselves to see who gets to go. May the best frock win.

Gosh, I’d better get on it. Luckily I have some lovely retro repro fabric winging its way to me…
That is a fab dress!
Oh that is perfect.
This is absolutely gorgeous in every way – fabric, fit and functionality.
Cute! The dots are pefect!
Wow, great dress, I love the polka dots and those shoes look great with it. You look like a classic movie star.
I’m curious…the pattern picture shows a fuller skirt, which of course is due to a petticoat or crinoline, but is the sewn dress roomy enough to put a crinoline underneath? I love these old patterns, but am alway disappointed that they are not as full as pictured.
Lovely dress and shoes, regardless!
Hi Jane,
In the picture there is a slim skirt as well as a fuller skirt. It looks like Kitty has made the slim version.
Lovely!
Kitty, I’m also buying that Vogue pattern you used for the picnic and cherry dresses on your site. I would have never bought that one if I hadn’t seen the perfectly lovely vintage-look dresses you made from it, thanks.
Great dress. I love polka dots!
Your dress looks great!
