When I found out that I could buy Skelanimals fabric, I was so excited! I love the Skelanimals that you can buy at Hot Topic.
So this is the first ever Skelanimals 50s inspired dress....I think. LOL
The pattern for the neckline is copied from a late 50s McCalls pattern. I added red piping to make it pop. I also made a red belt. I used a buckle from a pair of my shoes that had fallen apart.
The skirt is cut on the bais.
I also cut sleeves on the bias.
I drafted a seam pocket on the one side. I made it a bit too low, but it will still come in handy!
The sleeves have small red rick tack to add a second touch of color.
From far away it looks like all dots, but close up you can see the Skelanimals!
I think it looks very Lucy!
I wore it to my acoustic gig last night
It matches my vintage looking hollow body guitar!
