Hello! Long time; no see! This dress was not supposed to turn out so cute. It was a test for the neckline and sleeves. The scallop edge neck came from a late 50s pattern. The pattern also has kimono sleeves- MY NEMESIS!! They never fit right on me. So when I up sized the pattern, I made a sample out of this cotton skeleton fabric I had in my stash. It is like a waxy cotton, almost like it supposed to be for a table cloth....not really the best for draping. That's why it lays weird on my butt.
Still there are some issues with the fit, so I am going to be back at the drafting table! Enjoy!

Ooooh, that neckline is gorgeous! Even though the back skirt looks odd, it looks great from the front. I would hang on to it for weekends or maybe with a cardi because that fabric is too cute to toss.
I love that neckline......

Love the neckline, and the print! Can't wait to see a final version, but this one doesn't look too bad to me:)
