I completely hand stitched this dress in a Residence Inn we stayed at in Memphis. I was bored and had brought some sewing supplies with me so I figured why not!? It’s made from a 50 cent pillow case, about 10 cents worth of vintage lace from a thrift store and some green remnant fabric that I think cost me $1.20, but I only used about 3/4ths of it. The buttons were on sale at Jo Ann’s about a year ago and were 20 cents. Grand total of approx $1.70. It’s made from a 1960′s pattern I had with me. I really liked the exterior fabric, The crisp white and bright flowers really got me. I simply cut the pieces and made it as the instructions said to. The only things I did differently was to add the lace trim on the dress and to substitute drawstrings in the bloomers for elastic. to do this all I had to do was to make the “string” out of the floral fabric by folding it over twice and sewing it down.
This one is precious.. Any idea what size? I have two friends with toddler girls and a friend with a girl on the way, so I forsee me being a frequent customer if you post all these cute as hell girl things on etsy.
I’ll have to find the pattern and look at the size. Old patterns only came in one (or two) sizes if ou were lucky, so it shouldn’t be too hard to track it down! I plan to start listing on Etsy before long, I’m just trying to build up a little bit of stock!
I found the pattern, it’s a size 1.
