Betty Draper Summer Dress

I was inspired to make a summer dress by Betty Draper and Tasia from sewaholic.net's version of a Betty Draper picnic dress! (Here's Tasias version)

I drafted this pattern, and tried many new (to me) techniques with this dress, like a hand-picked zipper, catch-stitching the facing, underlining etc. I'm proud of how the inside looks (for the first time! :))

The fabric is from a children's duvet cover that I found at a thrift store.




More pictures of the finished dress (inside and out) and WIP pictures on my blog.
