Hey there,
My name is Vivian V. Dimples and I have been watching SewRetro for quite a while now but have only just recently got up the nerve to join.
I am a student of Costume at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts or WAAPA for short. I pretty much sew from 9 till 6 every weekday with a couple of classes thrown in to shuffle things about. The holidays are finally coming up so I can apply all my new learnt skills for my own projects and I would love to share them with SewRetro.
I am eager to contribute to SewRetro so I would like to share the dress I have been making for summer. It is based on the Butterick pattern B4918 with a few minor alterations. I changer the full skirt to a pencil to be a bit more causal.
I hope you enjoyed!
Feel free to drop in a say ‘hi’ at my blog.
Beautiful! I love the rose print- I would not have though to use that but it works!
Cheers,
Nancy
Very pretty! I think the change to a pencil skirt is an improvement.
Ooooooh that dress is gorgeous!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Love it!
Gorgeous dress! Wonderful job!!
Oh my goodness! What a gorgeous dress! Bravo!
This is stunning. Going to check out the blog ; )
Gosh this is gorgeous, you did such a great job. Completely stunning.

Love what you've done with it! Makes the dress far more wearable than the original.
What a lovely dress. Very, very pretty!
Your fabric is lovely and I really like the pencil skirt modification – wonderful! Actually I have just made this dress myself – finished it at Midnight last night !! – and am wearing it to a 'Little Black Dress – Audry Hepburn style' fundraiser tonight!! It is black chiffon with little white spots all over, and I cut it off at mid calf level – not floor level. I am so inspired by your beautiful dress though – it really took my breath away!
I'm counting this as an entry to the competition as it would make a stunning outfit for a posh party!
Gosh, Thank you everyone!
Anna – Thank you I was going to ask if I could enter past posts. 😀
Kesenya – I would love to see it, I hope you post it soon!
This is a beautiful dress!! I'm not a person for flowers, but I would wear this!
