Easter Dress


Happy Easter! I LOVE this dress. It's a 1950s Butterick 5605 pattern with a full skirt, kimono sleeve, with a tied bow in the back. It's so cute and comfortable. For anyone making this dress, WATCH OUT FOR THE KIMONO GUSSET SLEEVES! It was difficult. I really had a lot of help from my grandma and an awesome tutorial that goes step by step. The dress is beautiful and I wore my crocheted gloves. I will post pictures of me wearing it soon. I'm also making a petticoat to wear under it. 

Now what to sew?

1950 Easter Dress Finished!




My mom braided my hair and stuck in the pearl bobby pins I made.

Cool retro effect on photoshop... interesting, I thought...

I got sooooooo many compliments on my dress, hair, and gloves at church today. Some were weird like "You like like your from the Jetsons TV show and others about how gorgeous it was. Most couldn't believe I sewed it. Happy Easter!
