A little bit Mad Men, a little bit like something Elizabeth Taylor might have worn in Butterfield 8, and a classic bombshell color thrown in. I’ve been in a bit of a late 50s/early 60s mood lately; mostly it’s due to all the early 60s films I’ve been watching over the course of the summer. I decided to indulge in my recent mania for late 50s/early 60s sheath dresses and make my own this past weekend! I used a sloper I drafted as the base, a green linen blend in my stash, and a whole bunch of structure techniques and hand sewn details. I adore how it came out--be sure to stop by my blog for more of the nitty-gritty sewing specifics!
