I adore 40’s and 50’s fashion. Was this a commercial pattern that you used ? Or an old pattern ?

I based the dress on Burda 9/2006 (no. 107), but I modified it from being a shirt-dress to this one. I’ve been looking for vintage patterns as well, but they’re often expensive and not my size… I will try out some I’ve bought though, and see how it goes.

It’s gorgeous! And I agree, the 50’s produced some great fashion, I love the femininity of it all.
I love the way you styled it too!
