Adorable vintage dress. In my teens I was living in a country far away from North American civilization and my grandma used to make me dresses like yours. I had no idea I was wearing vintage. But I just loved them! In case you were wondering about the country . . . I lived in Nicaragua.

This dress is amazing – I love the fashion of that era in general, but it also suits you and fits you soooo beautifully!

So, so cute! I just love styles from this era—and adore how you made it in gingham!!!

You did ist absoluty perfect: Not only the pattern is original but also the way how you completed the dress and took the photo. What about the rose: it is bought or you made it on your own?? Ist die Rose gekauft oder von Hand gefertigt?

Adorable! I love the rickrack finish! And the colour (although I’m not a very big fan of yellow) suits both you and the cut! So nice that you included a picture of the pattern – it’s hard sometimes to imagine how the final result will look like.

So sweet and I love the gingham! It reminds me so much of that movie “State Fair.” You’re a real southern peach!
