My first official project submission! Although I am much more in the spirit of Joan (busty firecracker of a redhead), I had found this lovely fabric that seemed to be much more like something Betty Draper would be inclined to wear. I used a pattern from Butterick’s Retro line B5209 and it worked fairly well with some modifications.
That is lovely!!! You have gorgeous skin.
Thanks! I have a substantial amount of freckles so I had a challenge lighting to reduce the contrast:)
What a fabulous dress!
Luv the dress, luv the attitude and luv the styling. Looks like you had lots of fun doing this! Great job!
Lovely dress. It does look very Betty.
The dress looks great on you. And the styling is lovely! Great job.
Great job, you look great.
This dress is gorgeous! And I really like the picture too 🙂
HI!
I have too this patten and i sew this cherries fabric dress!
That is AWESOME.
Wow, thanks everyone for such amazing comments:) I've photographed my Joan outfit, hopefully I'll be able to post it Tuesday night!
this is the first time I have see anyone do this with the cap sleeves, (which is the version I made) I love it so much more than the halter and it seems to have less problems… this looks fabulous.
