Vogue 8280 was my pattern of choice today...my one mistake was choice of fabric...I looooove the pattern and colour but it's not a very giving fabric, it's a thick cotton...Fat Betty looks great doesn't she?! It looks fabtacular on me but a bit hard to get a photo...so she is my model.
Well no more sewing till next weekend because I have to get back to my uni assignments and a few other fun activities...stay tuned for the awesome adventures of me!!!

What a fabulous dress that fabric may have been hard to work with ... but I would say - well worth the effort.
Love the fabric Linda. Nice choice. The pattern is great too. You'll have to show it to me one day.

This is absolutely lovely...the fabric is fantastic...sorry it was hard to work with...but so worth it! You will be stunning in your new dress :)
Oh - I am tuned in all right - stalking your every post.
Did you do this just in a weekend? Is there anything you can't do - go on - tell us - you are too talented for words.
Just perfect - did they have little waists in the 1950's - I did too then!
Great dress Linda. I used to dressmake all the time as a teenager (couldnt afford to buy the up to date stuff). I havent done any for years now but there is so much satisfaction in creating an original isnt there?
