At last, I can reveal my finished 1960s inspired dress! I used some gorgeous fabric I bought in Portugal to create my look, which has an A-line skirt with an asymmetrical button placket and a Peter Pan collar. The inspiration came from a picture on the front of a vintage pattern envelope .



Overall, I am really pleased with the finished look, especially as I made the pattern myself. The fit is good, although I needed to make a belt to cinch it in at the waist and give it a bit of shape.

Ooh nice!  Nice bright print too.
Ahhh, the 60's and 70's  when you  could make something out of a small amount of fabric and simple enough to be run up in no time!
