Description

I loved this 40s pattern and wanted to make it so badly. But I never saw a good fabric for it. And then I had this fabric I admired time after time in the fabric store, but had no project for. But finally something in my head made click and I thought why not use this fabric for the 40s dress. They had some wild prints and the texture was also not too bad.
Sewing was sometimes a challenge, but all in all I like the outcome.

      That was a good excuse to buy the shoes. But now I need some more things to wear with them. Time for new fabric shopping XD

    Fashion from the 1940s is such a classic look that it never really goes out of style. Wearing this beautiful frock you will get a lot of positive attention. Wonderful work!
