Description

Inherited cotton contour bust dress. And yes, those are teeny tiny lambs :) I have worn this dress SO many times. It’s so comfy. I took the contour bust dress pattern and enlongated it to make the drop waist silhouette. Used bias strips folded in half for all facings.

Material Notes

Inherited cotton from my Auntie Ruthy as well as inherited imitation mother of pearl buttons from her namesake, my great Aunt Ruth

      By doing just that, basically taped the pattern on to paper and draw lines down to make it longer :)
