So this is the dress I mentioned in the prior post. I decided on a straight skirt with some front pleats (instead of darts - pretty common in 50s and 60s patterns). The dress in worsted wool, and the houndstooth inset is wool flannel (I also made a shirtdress from the houndstooth - see sewinginthecity.blogspot.com). I'm not usually this productive, but I had the week off and I just broke off a 2-year live-in relationship for some pretty hard reasons, so lets just say I needed (and got) some sewing therapy this past week.Party Dress Sequel: Office Dress from the same pattern
