I haven’t posted here for a while, but Moggy and I continue to ‘sew retro’ on our blog.
This frock is my first go at this mail order pattern from “The Carole Clarke Fashion Service”.
The fabric doesn’t photograph well. It’s a houndstooth in red, white and blue.
These mail order patterns have fairly sparse instructions, and this one was a little bit of a puzzle to put together. I will probably make this dress again, as the fabric isn’t the best quality and I think it will fall apart after a wash or two. Maybe in a plain fabric next time.

This is soooo cute and the fit is really great! It’s a shame that you think it won’t hold up in the wash… hopefully it will surprise you because it’s a super dress!
love this! fits you so well!
I really like that dress. It looks cool in the picture—kinda purple-y. Very mod!!!
I like this dress. Great job.
