Objective: create that cute striped number withthe retro cut out neckline.
flipped when I found this pattern Simplicity 7288 dated 1970 in my archive. The
style of the views shift on
line shape french darts yet the hem goes from mod late 60’s mini to 70’s mindi
to boho maxi in a flash.
At any rate I loved the stripe button combo and could
not help to vintage copycat the look. I found this cotton stripe plain weave
some time ago from the mecca: fabric.com – $1.95 per yard awesome section. It was quite
sheer, or what I refer to as a blessing to fully line! So off I went with some
cotton lawn remnants. Thus a lovely early spring in the Midwest Mock Mod frock, that implemented some
cute little buttons and a vintage zip from my stash.

I love to sew...anything, but I really love a dress with amazing construction. I have been sewing since I was a child. In high school I stumbled upon vintage frocks, and a love of polka dots and peplums. Did I mention that I adore vintage sewing patterns and have a habbit of hoarding them?

This is super cute!
Thank you!
I love this little number! Also, this is the exact fabric I’ve been searching for! How long ago did you purchase it? Didn’t see anything like it on fabric.com last week.
Hello and thank you. I am sorry but the fabric was purchased well over a year ago. I have the worst habit of hoarding sewing supplies. As my sewing ideas are grander than my process kind of like my eyes bigger than my belly type of situation!
Ah I love it! If I had that pattern I would also have had to make the striped dress. I have a real thing for black and white stripes.
Thank you. Gotta love stripes
