Polka Dot Splendour Dress.

If you've been following for a while, you'll probably know that I always think of the 40's on patriotic holidays. So, on the fourth I finished up my Polka Dot Splendour Dress. 

This pattern was an absolute DREAM to work with! The pleats and gathers made it adjustable, leading to a lot less fitting. It's so comfortable, and classy, and modern!

I wore it again to VBS tonight, and it was just fine, even while Baby wrangling. :D

I highly recommend this pattern if you can find a copy!

I also have a few other outfits to show off, so stay tuned.!

Polka Dot Splendour, Beginnings

Well, I'm ready to set out on a new project. As summer approaches, I've realized I need some cooler dresses.

I began surfing etsy for 1930's and 40's patterns and finally landed on this one at Mrs. Hudson's Sewing Room.

I just couldn't pass it up! 

I then began surfing fabric sites. No matter how many times I try, sometimes I just can't get good fabric in local stores... They specialize in Quilting fabrics, and I just can't ever get it right.

Well this time I think I got it. A Red and white polka dot seersucker from Joann.com .

It matched the pattern so beautifully, but I was scared of the 100% poly... Well it was on sale for $3 a yard, I thought , 'Hey, what's the harm'

Well it's perfect! Soft and flowy, and I just think it'll be a joy to work with.

I'll udate soon!
