LOVE IT! i want to go to a nascar race in it! and oh yeah, there are plenty of flag girls at the races still… only they are usually in bikinis. feh.

Awesome. You would make a huge success as the “flag girl” at the car races. Or do flag girls only appear in old James Dean movies?

Its adorable. The fabric is hilarious and looks so cool in that 50’s dress.

aww, thanks everyone! Lauriana – yeah I’m really pleased with the matching at the bust, but don’t look at the back bodice (which would’ve matched if the centre and back pieces were swapped like I thought when I was cutting!) And mirela – good eyes! yes, that pattern is a reprint of an original 1950s Simplicity pattern. :)
