Hey folks! It’s been a while since I posted, but great to see so many new members.
This is my latest. I can’t decide whether it’s Two-tone Tuckshop or Canteen Cowgirl (for the non-Aussie readers, a tuckshop is a food kiosk in a school) but either way, I love it. Yeee-haw!
Few changes from pattern – longer in torso, wider in skirt, didn’t bind the buttonholes (of course I didn’t! Sheesh!) and I took it in a whole lot at the waist.
Now, who wants a lamington?
I love this a surprisingly huge amount considering I would never have looked twice at this pattern. Well done!!!
The western look is absolutely not my thing, but I find your dress tremendously appealing. Nice work!
This is adorable!
This is awesome!! It reminds me of a house dress my grandma had when I was growing up! She was a stylish lady 😀
Wow! I love this one. Really great use of pattern!
I'll have to search out that pattern myself, as I personally am a big fan of the Western look.
A great dress with a real 70s feeling. I love it!
This is so amazing! I love the fabric combination that you used (especially the flower print!). I've wanted to make a western-style dress like this for a while now – your dress gives me hope that it could actually look wonderful!
What fun! Love the buttons! Now I've got to find that pattern…
Oh my gosh, I love it! You did a fab job! Great fabric choices, and I love the self-fabric covered buttons. Bra-vo!
This may be my new favorite thing ever! Really…what beats a combo of 70's stlye and western? Uh, nothing! I love it!!!
Aw, shucks folks! Thanks so much for all your lovely comments!
She turned out fabulously! Love those covered buttons.
I love the western look and I am going to look out for that pattern! I love your version and the covered button is perfect. I adore shirtdresses and have been on the hunt for the perfect one for a while.
LOVE IT. Just found a copy on ebay. Thank you for feeding my addiction. 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Now I want my own tuckshop lady uniform.
