I love sewing with children’s vintage patterns.So many modern patterns for children are sort of sack like and shapeless.
I love how the styles from the forties are fitted and stylish, while being practical at the same time!
This little dress was made from a thrifted men’s shirt and my 1942 Simplicity pattern in the spirit of 40’s frugality.

I about died from this! Talk about mend and make do! Bravo!
I am so jealous! I want that dress and/or a little girl to dress up in one similar! Great work! This is fab!
What an absolutely lovely dress – LOVE the contrast of the red and blue….. make me an adult-sized one?! 😀

Good grief that is adorable!
Cute as a button.
Love the fact that you’ve been able repurpose the shirt & reuse the pattern.
It look way better as a dress than it did as a shirt.
This was half of a set of “mother/daughter” patterns. The “mother” dress is Simplicity 4102.
