Sassy Retro Wrap.........

Hello Friends, I have yet another project to share with you. Yes, it's another Butterick retro wrap dress. Only this time, it's done up a lot more sassier. I used princess seams to create figure flattering curves, and Retro Style fabric for a more vintage look. Instead of using button closures I used snaps, even on the inner dress. Overall the pattern was easy to work with and required a few minor alterations. As many of you dolls may notice, I also shortened the inner dress to create more depth. I am also working on a vintage style slip to wear underneath the dress, and looking for a lightweight cardigan to wear with it on cool summer nights.

Let me know what you think! Have you created your own version of this dress? I would love to see it!

P.s. You ladies have to excuse the horrid lighting in my picture. The sun snuck back into hiding before I could get outside.

Keeping it Sassy,

Another Pretty Little Ditty......

Hello Darlings!, look what I have to share. It's my Anne Adams 4731 dress. What do you think of the yellow Rosie Dots fabric? I think it screams picnic in July! As many of you know I have been trying to make my way over to Sew Retro, and deliver my first post. Well it's finally done! As of now I can add the title "Contributing Writer" to my list of many other names (like Cook, Cleaner, Warden, lol). With that said, I will be updating the site next week with information about a super cool contest I will be hosting . And yes, it does involve fabric and patterns. Sorry I can't tell you more. It would ruin the surprise! Please take a look at the Bobbi Hairstyle video I posted below, if you haven't. It's a really helpful video for those looking to have vintage style hair to match their vintage style outfits. Well, I'm off to finish up yet another project. I will post more pictures as soon as the sun comes out to play again.

Keep it pretty,
