I've been working on this dress for what feels like ages! I really didn't expect it to be such a struggle; apparently the planets were aligned against me on this one. I had to ditch my vintage shirtwaist pattern due to some insurmountable fitting issues, but I was able to use it as a jumping off point for altering a new pattern to have the same vintage details. Overall its really cute, and I love how well the matching belt turned out.
