Description
I made this with the help of the Alison vintage bathing suit pattern, the top half of which I altered and adjusted for this dress. I used the skirt part of a vintage 50’s dress pattern I have, and this is how it turned out!
Material Notes
I was inspired by the material for this dress. It's a light blue cotton material, and I love the little cherries on it.
