Burda Style For people who sew
Description
i went through a distinct rockabilly phase, back when my hair was bettie page black. this is a very simple shirt dress made from McCall’s 4769 and a black and white polka dotted cotton print. it has a button up front, a seam at the waist and darts on the bodice. I made the skirt a little fuller than the pattern dictated, and added in a peter pan collar with a pearl piping that really gives it a little something extra around the face. in these pictures i’m wearing a vintage red crinoline underneath, adding a pop of colour to my otherwise colourless pallet. very cute dress, but these days i just don’t feel so into the whole rockabilly scene. i still wear it on occassion…
Material Notes
cotton cotton cotton. comfortable, convenient, cool. some kind of bamboo or linen would work just as good.

It’s so beautiful, chic, feminine with a wink … Please, please, please, Tell me how you made the red skirt to give so much volume? Hope to hear from you soon … (With explanations and pattern’s?)

hi! the shirt dress is McCall’s 4769, and the crinoline skirt is second hand vintage. i have made my own in the past, so if you’re looking to make one all you need is some patience for gathering a million strips of fabric, or a substantial investment in a ruffler attachment for your sewing machine. i have both.. ;)
