The pattern is reprint 1950’s retro Simplicity 3673. Decided to have a little fun with it by using three different fabrics from my fabric stash wall. It all seemed to work out, I think. Easy & fun dress to make, lots of variations that could be done with this pattern.
Yellow linen blend, cotton print & wool blend for the contrast waist bow.

Right, I need to buy this pattern. I’ve seen it but it didn’t really excite me. Going by how amazing this is I was obviously wrong.

Yes I can breath when it’s on :-). it has six darts across front & back. The dress has a nice flattering fit.

very nice, I have that pattern and sometimes I worry it is a bit over the top ‘girlie’ but these fabric bring it down a bit without losing the style. Might have to have a hunt through my stash too!
