I recently purchased this 1948 Simplicity dress pattern on ebay.
The pattern description is as follows:
Misses' and Women's One-Piece Dress: the bodice, seamed down the center front, is styled with a V neckline. The shoulder yoke, cut in one with the cap sleeves, releases soft front gathers. The gored skirt falls in an easy flare.
I wanted to try out the pattern with some inexpensive fabric first, so used a thrifted bed sheet. I don't know what it is about green and/or blue roses, but I an inexplicably attracted to them.
The dress went together really quickly, but I'm not sure if the bed sheet dress is presentable out in public. My boyfriend calls it the von Trapp children's play clothes. What do you think?
