Dressed

I'm loving making dresses at the moment. In the last few weeks I've finished two 1950s inspired plain bodice, sleeveless dresses and now I'm ready to try something with sleeves and a bit more detail. I've had trouble finding patterns that match what I have in my head, so last night I trawled through what seemed like endless pages of vintage patterns on Etsy and bought 3 vintage patterns. I've pretty much got the skirt making bit down, so in picking these patterns I was looking at the bodice and neck line.  


I have the perfect fabric for the dress below (left). We have a 3 week break in dressmaking class so hopefully this pattern will arrive in time for the next class.
