introduction and a party dress!

Hi everybody! I've been lurking on sewretro for a few months now, and I have been SO inspired by all the fabulous things that you guys are making! This is the first vintage outfit that I've sewn for myself, and I'm pretty happy with the way everything turned out. It was from a 1949 Vogue pattern and I used some kooky novelty print fabric featuring stylized gladiators(?!?!) and old bakelite buttons. 

You can read more about it at my new blog, Festive Attyre. I can't wait to start the next dress!
