Fifties dress

Well it's only taken a year but finally finished this dress that has been on the dummy so long. I don't know if you remember but I bought the pattern from a charity shop in Brixham, sent for the fabric from Minerva fabrics and cut it all out. Had so many problems with the black sections across the bust area. They have been taken off so many times. Then the shoulder bits didn't fit so I waited until I visited my sister so that she could fit it for me. I did bound buttonholes with the black fabric and covered the buttons. Think I'm finally happy with it. Just going to put the pattern and fabric away and and cut out a pair of trousers for myself.
