Hiii!
Check out this latest creation – I am SO pleased with it!!
A few details:
Pattern: Butterick 3989 – from early to mid 40′s I think. From the amazing Evadress Patterns
Fabric: Awesome tropical print rayon WITH PINEAPPLES from eBay. This isn’t vintage as the selvedge mentions “Hoffman Internation Fabrics 2001″. How COOL is it!? I have another piece which has Plumerias and palm trees on it!
I actually made a mistake while creating this! More details and pics on le blog

This is gorgeous! The print is perfect for this dress. Looks great on you too!
Looks fab! Especially with the belt & shoes!
Cute! I am currently obsessed with tropical prints, and this is a great one. Colorful but not overwhelming, and perfect scale for the dress. Love it!
Looks great! I love the shortened form of that dress… I’d never thought to do something like that, but it looks great.
And I am absolutely mad for your shoes.
First of all – FABULOUS SHOES – secondly (but perhaps more importantly) how gorgeous is this frock. You look stunning and the fabric is such an amazing find.
I always love the clothes you make! Keep up such wonderful work.
That’s lovely. I want one.
This dress is fantastic!!! Love the fabric, too!
