Hello!
I just wanted to share my most recent sewing project. I used Simplicity’s 6459 from 1966. I made the dress in vintage teal and black polka dotted linen that I got at an estate sale awhile back.
The dress only took me about 4 hours and I absolutely loved the outcome!

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.

That is super cute. I love the fabric.

I adore the fabric and it's really a pretty dress.
Beautiful i love it.
I love the lines of this dress! And it looks great in that polka dot fabric. Good choice!
(I, too, had planned on it being summer sewing extravaganza, but…)
