This is my second version of this 50’s pattern.I really love the shape of the bodice, the naked back, and all these gorgeous hollow pleats!
My first version was in a printed cotton and metal buttons. I made it for the wedding of my best friend. (Seen here). I wanted a new version easier to wear in every-day life, and correct the few problems with the first version.
I cut it in June and only sew it this September!
I made it with denim-color linen, lined on the bodice with a blue cotton. There were some plastic button.

Sorry it is in French, but if you have any question I can answer in English 😉
Both of your dresses from this pattern are lovely. I’ve made this pattern myself a few years ago, but in silk and lace as my best friends wedding dress. I’ve often thought I should make it again in a more everyday fabric, and you have just inspired me to think about it again.
Looks like a lovely wearable dress!
