Found some lace curtains from the 80’s in my basement, decided to make a dress with them! Has stretchy white lining for comfort, and back pleat details next to the zipper

It is easier to copy paste the link into your address bar, then right click and download the PDF to your computer. Then it should print out to scale

1 or 2 yards should be plenty :)

This was the first real dress ive ever made and i love the way it came out!! I was lazy and did it without the zipper or anything… and its a bit of a squeeze… but once its on its great. (i will use a zipper next time!)
thanks for posting this :)

Adorable! There is a ModCloth ad on the page right now that shows a very similar dress, and yours looks every bit as good. Plus, major points for giving new life to old fabric.

hmm,, im sure you could cut out the size medium a bit bigger, its a simple block pattern so it shouldn’t interfere with the fit it should just enlarge it

the pattern is a size small, which should fit an american size 1-5 depending on how much seam allowance and the type of fabric. there is a link of the medium on the pattern description too

on the page set up on the printing window, change the Page Scaling to “Tile all pages” instead of what it automatically clicks which is usually “Scale to Fit” or something along those lines

Do you know the “American Size” to this dress? I wear a juniors size 7 and would love to make it!

A juniors size 7 should convert to a Medium in this pattern, if you want to be for sure, you can look over the sizing chart from the website the pattern is from here: http://m-sewing.com/patterns-catalog/howtos/our-size-charts.html
