I made this dress from a rather large shift dress. It’s a self drafted bodice with retro styling paired with Gertie’s Pencil skirt from her book.
The fabric is satin backed crepe. It’s a lovely dress to wear and feels silky smooth.

Lovely, I like the clean lines and how the simplicity makes everything pop!
