hello all of you lovely retro sewers! this is my first post & im very excited 🙂
i just finished this dress using the Decades of Style pattern called “1940’s New England Dress” & im pretty pleased with the result!
for this dress, i used a fun printed light-weight cotton fabric in some lovely muted colors & vintage ball buttons i thrifted recently.
i really love the panel details that this pattern has on the bodice & skirt…and guess what?!? there are even POCKETS in the skirt panel! i just love pockets!
overall, im really happy with how this turned out & i got a few compliments while wearing it which made me so proud!
i took a few years away from sewing and im just getting back into the swing of things. now that im sewing again, i realize how much i love and missed it. this site has been very inspirational for me..thank you all for your posts!
happy sewing,
tina

This came out really cute. Well done!
Lovely! Those buttoned panels are fabulous.
Love it! You did great and what a lovely pattern.
Wonderful job with the dress, Tina! It looks really gorgeous!
thank you everyone!!
Very pretty dress! I also just recently got back into sewing (after a year of silence) and realized how much I’d missed it. What a lovely feeling that is, getting back to sewing. 🙂
it really is great, anni! the satisfaction & pride you feel once you finish a project are priceless!
hey, awesomesauce! That turned out so beautifully. thanks for sharing it.
Looks lovely! I have been eyeing that pattern and it’s nice to see how it “for real”. And the fabric is very cute too!
So flattering 🙂
