Description

Little winter dress made from fabric claimed from a vintage dress which I found in a charity shop.
The original dress wasn’t quite the right size (see final pic!), so I reworked it a bit using a Simplicity Built-by-Wendy pattern 3835. I know the style is a bit out of season, but I was too excited about the fabric to wait for the cold weather to return.

Material Notes

Printed soft-touch navy viscose from a £2 charity shop dress. I can't believe my luck!

    I love the fabric; this was a real find. (I’m envious) The neckline details are great. Congratulations on a fine job of work. Nehmah

    This is great, I think you did a great job altering it. I want to learn how to do that. Love the fabric also.
