I love a nice 50s dress! And this one has pockets!
It's Simplicity 1097 from 1955.
It was a bit breezy so my bangs are all over the place!
I love this little pink hat! The print on my dress has black, gray, white, pink and purple so there's loads of accessory opportunities!
I really want to make another version of this dress in something a bit more drape-y. This fabric is quite stiff so I don't even need a crinoline!
Wishing you all some lovely early summer days for pretty dresses!
I love the subtle polka dot print. From afar it could pass as a gingham. Cute!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! That is definitely a great choice of dress for a sunny, warm spring day.
ReplyDeleteThis style of 1950s dress - with double breasted buttons and wide nautical-esque collars is of my all-time favourites. I have at least a couple dresses in this style already and recently bought another (80s does 40s/50s one) on eBay that's winging its way to me as speak.

What a wonderful print! And I totally agree with Sean!

That dress is so lovely. I'd love to see a close up of the print and all the colors. Your little pink hat is darling.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress. I used the same fabric to make a fitted sheath dress recently. I was really wondering how the stiff fabric would look in a full skirt. The dress looks very lovely on you. Bonus, no crinoline needed means one less layer to wear in the summer heat.
