not quite Mommy Dearest.....

Recently I made my daughter a dress from 1940 (Simplcity 3836) the view on the right.

 I thought maybe it was high time to make one for myself - this one is Butterick 2611.  The pattern envelope was made from a shiny paper rather than the usual and the ink seams to have worn off the illustration a bit - but the enclosed pattern was complete...

 The front of the bodice is bias cut - and a bit clingy, but very feminine....not something that I have worn for quite a while....
