Hello! I just wanted to share the dress I made for my birthday.

I made the dress with vintage fabric and Simplicity’s 6266 from 1965.

Hi! I'm Allie, a 21 year old vintage enthusiast. I spend most of my time thrifting, going on random adventures with my boyfriend, antiquing, taking pictures of random things, styling photo shoots, reading, sewing, having dinner with friends, knitting, wasting time on instagram -_- and hanging out at my local Korean bath house.

Her dress is simple. But I think, the best part of this is that she looks very beautiful wearing it.
