I love the 50s style and always wanted a polka dot dress. So here it is and I love it! I’ve tried to make a petticoat myself but that didn’t work out, so I’ll wear my cream Linda under this dress until I find a nice petticoat.
In the back I put origami on the straps to have a little extra.
I’m still thinking of making a bag to go with the dress and a headband, maybe even with the origami. I’ll just need some time…

I love the dress and the bolero, I love the 50’s style too. I’m going on a serious sewing expedition when I fiiiiiianlly get my machine fixed, I hope mine can be even half as good as yours!
