This is my 1947 dress I have to say this was one of the easier dresses I have made in a while and it fits PERFECTLY. The pattern I used was Butterick’s Retro 1947 dress pattern B5209 The pattern comes in two styles halter and sleeved. I made the sleeved, view B.

i think peter has crashed our little vintage sewing site…anywho, cute dress! i really like your fabric pick.
I just found your post. I love the dress and actually this pattern was one of my purchases this morning. Glad you see you say it was an easier project. Hope it is for me as well.
