Sew Retro September Project


Sew Retro September Project

Made from a vintage house-dress pattern. The fabric came from my stash, I'm not sure where I got it originally. I think it's maybe a little bit busy, but it is a house dress and not something I'll be wearing out (probably.) I had problems with the collar, but now I kind of understand how they work so maybe the next time it won't be such an ordeal. Also, the pattern was too small so I enlarged it, but I think my drafting skills are not quite up to par. A lot of the pieces didn't fit together very well, and the top ended up being too big. I should have made a muslin to verify fit, but it seemed silly for something so simple.
