Front skirt seam needs to come in about an inch.
Waist stay and buttons still to go, not to mention hemming.
But coming along nicely.
And a lesson learned when you mark the pleats on this dress, do it on the right side of the fabric. I marked on the wrong side and sewed them in place and when it came to sew it together, I realised I had the pleats going in the wrong direction. It wouldnt matter on a fabric that has no ‘right side’. Spewing.
How’s that set of vintage 50s beads. Do they work or what ?!

My mother loved this pattern. She had several dresses made from this one.
Thanks for the memories!!!
Lovely!
Your dress looks fabulous! Hope you post again when it's all done. BTW, is that a Californian Bungalow?
The pleats are divine!
So pretty, Love it!
So pretty, Love it!
Looking good! And the beads ARE fab.:-)
I love the fabric and the cut is fab.
How lovely! Everything looks 50's fabulous, and you wear it WELL!
Wonderful! And the pattern works so well with the pleats – that can be hard with a print fabric sometimes.
Lovely.
