Look at this dress!

I got this pattern in the mail yesterday (I bought it on an internet auction). Isn't it lovely?



It's a size 12 pattern (50s-60s size 12), but there shouldn't be much trouble enlarging it. I mean, after all I can make dresses that fit my rather strangely shaped body from diagrams of preserved 16th century garments or 19th century pattern diagrams. I just work in the same way, using the basic shape and my measurements to make a toile and make it fit me. And this dress really isn't complicated.

Oh, and the lecture is coming along nicely. I'm making a powerpoint presentation to go with it, it's the easiest way to show pictures.

What fabic will you use? The blue green flowery one?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

Nope, not again. Either some white fabric with a small pattern I have or a blue and white narrow stripe if there's enough of it, or something else striped.
I'm even considering using thin wool and use it in autumn.

Thin wool for autumn sounds lovely.
Or the white with small pattern for a summer dress. :)

I LOVE that.

I want that pattern. You should share :)

You realize that the girl in the brown and purple striped dress only has one leg, right? You're going to keep both of yours and not try to match the picture exactly, right? :-)

But I'm the brunette ;)

The one in the brown just has tucked her left leg up behind her. It does however expose her for having the mutant power of levitation.

It's gorgeous! I really like the stripy idea.
