Rayon is perhaps my favorite fabric to sew with! Love it! And it’s absolutely perfect for 40s dresses!
When I saw this fabulous tropical printed rayon in the garment district in LA, I knew it had to be a 40s tiki dress! And I promptly bought 7 yds. lol.
I used Eva Dress 3863 from 1943. It’s a daring wrap dress and it’s available as a multisize pattern!
I did view 2! It turned out so lovely!
I really love this fabric! More photos and construction details over on the blog!
P.S. These photos are from a modeling shoot with a professional so that’s why there’s watermarks.

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
