Today, August 15, 2017, now marks 70 years since India and Pakistan have had their Independence, and I made a dress which can help me commemorate this event in history.  I used a circa 1947 Marian Martin #9208 vintage original pattern with a border printed rayon challis as the fabric.  I had fun figuring out just how to align the border print inside the asymmetric panels to the design so it would look like a sari in the front, and made an extra sash to drape from one shoulder and hang from a loop at the waist band of the opposite side.  For more pictures and details, please visit my blog’s post (link here) for this project!
