I made this dress to wear to a friend’s wedding last summer. The pattern is a Vogue reissue of a 1954 pattern (some other Sew Retro contributors have also made this). The fabric is a beautifully soft printed Japanese cotton lawn I bought online. I love the richness of the verdant green.



It's gorgeous. I love the fabric and the underskirt you made to go with it.
So pretty! That dress has been on my "want to make" list for a while, and you've helped move it up the list!
Beautiful feminine look. I love the petti…I just purchased a vintage pattern to make one. The ruffle is so pretty.
What a beautiful dress. love the print so soft and feminine. Really lovely.
Ohhh! It's just so pritty, and fabric looks great. The photo's are lovely. Well done.
Beautiful! Love the underskirt, and that photo of you walking in the grass – gorgeous!!
Both pieces are beautiful.
so very pretty, lovely fabric choices and great pics 🙂
That is a gorgeous dress. I love the back, especially. I think that pattern may have to go on my list for when I have a bit more sewing experience.
Very pretty. Both the dress and the petticoat!
I love the dress and the petticoat is really a lot of work and well done!
Lovely! I'm a petticoat whore, so I definitely appreciate this post. Got to love a great underskirt. The dress looks very well executed as well. This looks great, thanks for sharing!
