Or, in which we learn the dangers of falling in love with vintage fabric.
I just finished this dress from a vintage 60's pattern (Simplicity 6194), a really basic a-line dress to show off the lovely brown bird 70's fabric I found in an op-shop. I loved this fabric so much, but it was so fragile I probably can't wear the dress again or it will rip all the way down the back!
The worst thing is, I only noticed this when I had almost finished the dress. :(
