Second, I will be very interested in following your process in making this. I made a very similar dress in the early 70s (and may still have the Vogue pattern), but I made it in a pale cream light-weight wool and did hand embrodery on the bodice. I just about wore it out. Thanks for all the inspiration you passed on in 2013. I look forward to your 2014 posts.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926160625275737447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-73146538578051089152013-12-31T11:40:18.826-05:002013-12-31T11:40:18.826-05:00I made that dress a couple of times early on in my...I made that dress a couple of times early on in my sewing career and loved it. I pulled one out recently that I made in a double knit and wore it. I can see that it has some fit issues now, so I'd love to revisit the pattern again. It's a really great little dress pattern. Can't wait to see what you make!liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-45182433025673109502013-12-31T11:18:31.290-05:002013-12-31T11:18:31.290-05:00I like this pattern!
