I was so excited to make this dress for my daughter, not only was it sinfully easy to sew, it turned out exactly how I wanted it to after a couple of alterations. The waist is tricky with this pattern, it’s important to measure the length of the back of the dress for the sides to meet. 
I found cute skull buttons!

She looks adorable. Nice work, mum!
What a cute dress! That print is just perfect for the retro look! I’ve done extensive work with that pattern before, and you might be interested to see the adjustments I made to the design here: http://www.edelweisspatterns.com/blog/?p=552
Happy sewing!

What a wunderful dress!
I love this dress. I have made several of them and it just looks good no matter what. And is super flattering on just about everyone. Great job. She looks wonderful in it.
Ah, the infamous Walk Away Dress. . . I’ve made this before with mixed results. There are a lot of reviews and photos online if you’re thinking about making another one. Your daughter has the perfect 1950s look. Love the contrast trim!
your daughter looks so great! a fabulous retro dress but still has a sort of modern feel–and a beautiful young woman!
You know how some people and some looks go together perfectly?
This is it.
cute! I am looking forward to making one of these for myself at some point this year
Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments, I really appreciate them!
