Description

i found this fabric from my mother’s closet the other day. it had been sitting there since i was in elementary school. im sure she intended to use it for something, but never got around to do it. so i decided to make a dress with a bit of retro feel to it – with round collar and crinched (? not sure im saying it right) sleeves.

    I love your studio projects. I don’t know how I’ve missed them before but I’m glad I’ve found them now. I’ve just finished a peter pan collar dress that I’ll be posting soon. Yours is lovely and I love this fabric.

    Oh, such a nice dress! And with this classic fabric it is just timeless. I think the word might be “cinched” as in cinched waist. But I am not a native speaker either…
