| Funny how some silhouettes are timeless~ |
It's hard to find smaller sizes of patterns in the vintage bins so I scooped this one up as soon as I saw it.
The fabric is once again some horrible polyester stuff I had, but it's not too slinky, and it actually falls quite nicely.
neckline:
I love that it has pockets! (That's an easy addition you can add to any skirt or dress if you want)
Mine is a little shorter than the picture on the pattern envelope and the skirt isn't as full. I think I did that on purpose to fit it onto the fabric and to suit my frame better.
This is one of my favourite sundresses and I usually get some nice compliments whenever I wear it. If a Maxi Dress isn't your thing give this style a go. A little simplicity can go a long way~

Wow! So beautiful! I love vintage stuff, but vintage patterns are so hard to come by unless I am going through my mom's old stuff!!

You really make me want to know how to sew! I love this and it looks fabulous on you!
Stopping by from Amanda's Weekend Bloggy Reading Party!
I think it is from the late 70's. I had a friend that sewed at least a dozen of these dresses. She looked great and so do you. It's a timeless classic. Makes me wish I could sew!

Your dress is a sophisticated version of the little girl pillow case dress that is so popular now. You have proved that it is a timeless style! Thanks for sharing!
Very cute! I've been trying to make and wear more dresses for myself this year and even though I'm almost 6 feet, I'm not feeling the maxi style.

So cute! This reminds me of dresses my mom wore when I was a kid. Your post makes me want to look through all of her old patterns. I'm visiting from Serenity Now.
Turned out great!!
