I got this dress from my grandmother some time ago. I didn’t like the fabric and color, it’s not actually my style. I didn’t think anyting could be made out of it. But one day I stumbled upon Gertie’s post about an eyelet dress. This was it ;))

The new dress is cute on you, but it was cute before too! It had good bones to begin with!

Thank you ;)
I think that the fabric is quite nice to sew, as it doesn’t need the inslide facings and lining :)
