1957 Halter

Here is the newest addition to my now-overflowing dress wardrobe! It is a Butterick reissue of a halter dress from 1957. It was pretty easy - all I added were some darts in the bust area. Oh and I skipped the circle skirt. Don't you ever just get tired of hemming those damned things? I had a full-but-not-quite-circle pattern lying around for another dress I cut out and so I just slapped it onto the bodice. Worked just fine and so much less hemming. Phew.

I will have another venture to post sometime soon, I hope. My mom and I are making dresses from matching (yummy Amy Butler) fabric and I found a couple of vintage wrap dress patterns on ebay. The hard part is choosing which one to use...

Ciao for now!
