Repurposed paisley 50s top by brocobelle


OK, my bust hasn't measured 32" (the size of this vintage 50s pattern) since circa 1972, but by using every scrap of width in this old shift dress I managed to adapt it to fit.  Paisleys have to be amongst my favourite textiles.  Below pics of the top pattern I used and the vintage shift dress I cut up to make my top.
