SHANNON'Sdresses

1940sdress

February 2011

I actually made this dress months ago but have been so busy costuming plays and such, putting it on the website was not a priority. Carrying on with tradition, it was made from an op shop curtain, using an authentic vintage pattern I bought off Etsy. And now I'm hooked. I check the website almost daily for new costume and vintage patterns. My credit card will surely suffer.

It was quite a success, the only thing was that the sleeves were a bit short. Ladies were rather petite in those days! Next time I will double check my measurements against the pattern's. For a style like this I want to make sure I make it comfortable and practical.
