I know it might not be 60s in anyway, but I thought id share it with you because... well, I made it!
To get us back to our scheduled programming here is the first thing I ever posted on Burdastyle. A navy linen shift dress...
Check out my bob haircut! I miss it sometimes
This was back in the day where I didn't know what facings were and thought I had to do teeny tiny hems along the neck and arm holes! Even though I've been sewing since I was a child, this was my first dress, from a pattern and without my mum present to help me.
How far I've come!

Fun with the big bow. Love.
ReplyDeleteLove the blouse! What pattern did you use?
ReplyDeleteI have a kind of default pattern for shift dresses - which I used for the front, then the back and straps were all done by measuring myself and then applying it to the fabric - which all could be done more easily with a Dressmakers mannequin, but I don't have one...
DeleteLove that gorgeous top! The bow is so cute.
