My favorite spring dress

For once I didn't cut my head out of the picture!This is Vogue 2960, a 1954 vintage pattern that was recently re-released. I used a home dec cotton with a fluffy cloud print. I also shortened the hem, used snaps instead of buttons, and added some elastic to fix a slouchy shoulder problem. This is a spectacular success for me, especially considering my pathetic last project!

Tons more details and pictures of the inside here, at Chronically Uncool.


Edited to add: I got a petticoat for this dress! You can see pictures on Sew Retro or on my blog.
